Giving way to a higher class
31183 defers to 40001 at Trent Junction on 26th June 1982.
This shot was taken from behind 40001 on the 0818 Piccadilly - Skegness which I had to Lincolnshire's premier seaside resort. Records show I had 20087 & 20160 back out to Derby, a DMU across to Crewe, 47483 to Chester and ended the day on 40013 from Chester to Carnforth on a returning ADEX from Shrewsbury to Maryport. They don't make days out on the train like that any more!!
The 31 lasted until July 1988 and was scrapped at Rotherham a year later.
