31265 3rd June 1980

THIS PHOTO IS SHOWN WITH THE KIND PERMISSION OF STEVE HARVEY.

31265 heads the 16.08 Exeter to Barnstaple. Not many 31 bashers myself included managed to have 265 before coming 31430 and ultimately 31530. I believe she was an Old Oak Common loco at the time this photo was taken and although she spent some time stored she was fortunate enough to have an extended life as a refurbished ETH air braked loco unlike her western region classmate 31136 which was a very early withdrawal.
