Class 31’s Cardiff 31421 & 31410.

The 17:15 Fridays only Cardiff Central to Manchester Oxford Road was a highlight of the week in 1992/3.
The ECS's worked down in the afternoon and worked to Canton for the loco's to run round.
Here two Regional Railways liveried 31's No. 31421 + 31410 'Granada Telethon' arrive at Cardiff on the down through with the Ecs's.
The 31's look like they are going to do a ‘Spad’ as they approach the Red Signal, but do stop really close up after a full emergency application.
A final view then of the pair undercover of darkness departing Shrewsbury heading North.
