2 31s through leeds today wednesday 2nd

[fsmr]

Just seen and heard double header 31s through Stourton heading into leeds. Green liveried front with intercity liveried 2nd with very long rake of blue intercity stock
Making them work, forgot what they sounded like its been so long!! Just the 66s now

What time are they coming back through Leeds (if they are!)?

Hi
sorry I just happened to see them, i dont know what stock or trip they were working but looked like mk3s in the old intercity blue? made them work as they were only dong about 30 mph past us

Thanks for that. Wish I'd seen them. Used to like those beasts!

On investigation, I think it was a Rail Blue Charters excursion to Carlisle - hence the coaching stock.

Sure someone will have stuck it on You Tube later.
