The cab of one of the several dozen Class 31 locos in Bescot Storage Sidings gently rots away in January 2001. It took a few years to dispose of the withdrawn engines that were stored here.
Class 31 machines were never a favourite of mine but it is was still sad to see them like this.

Would have taken quite a bit of restoration that one ! Still, worse examples have been returned to pristine condition...
I regret that I did not note which 31 it was, I think it was 460, which sat opposite the Tower for a few years.
I quite liked the 31s. There was such a motly collection of numbers and liveries in the late 90s they were just hellfire. Even the days of olde when they were all blue I loved em too, I was never much of a fan of the 1985 style Railfreight grey but old pictures I see of them get me going now!
