This was a Manchester to Luton footex and return for Luton Town v Manchester City.

31415 worked the train throughout in both directions. When 31415 got back to Manchester it then worked the 0030 Euston sleeper portion to Stafford.

Luton Town won the match 2-1.

Ah, small world, and how nice to see you again after a mere 40 years! It is quite possible I greeted you in the traditional fashion all those years ago as it pulled into Durham.....assuming my head dangling window was on the platform side!

Sorry you missed 009 later that evening

 

[D1511]

And I have now also just realised that these ought to be posted on the actual anniversary.....so I'm very sorry about that and I will obey the rules in future!

No other details in the book but I think this may have been the day of a small 'do' at Grantham involving 4468 Mallard, a Deltic (55019?), a class 56 and various other vehicles. Possibly to mark the 75th anniversary of the 126mph run. (Yes I know that was in July 1938)
