Derby lightweight at Stratford-upon-Avon

×

Details

From the kitchen window of my then nearby home on a date I can't find in my notebooks, but probably in 1985, I saw 31 426 arrive at Stratford-upon-Avon with the Derby Lightweight Ultrasonic Test Train (TDB975007/975008) in tow. It went into the Down Goods Loop where the class 31 was detached, ran along the up main line to the crossover before being coupled to 6Z08 and prepared to leave. After a brake test carried out I took this picture as 6Z08 left the loop to use the crossover (which the signalman maintained wasn't fit to use!) and joined the up main line towards Bearley Junction.
