31249_BroadSt_RCTS-tour_11-76
Class 31/1 number 31 249 on an RCTS tour at Broad Street, 6-11-76. This was a farewell tour for the non-gangwayed Mark I stock, though some of the stock remained in service until 30-9-77. On the following Monday, the inner-suburban GN Electrics began full service and trains from Broad Street to the GN line (which had all been DMUs since 1969) ceased. Broad Street closed in 1986, having been reduced to a stump in 1985 to make way for the Broadgate development, itself now planned to be redeveloped in part.
