class 31
Hello
There used to be a class 31 which was used on the bletchley- bedford service, and it was named 'bletchley park'. Does anyone know if it is still named and if it is still around? Maybe in preservation? Thanks Ang.

I belive it is still around.
I think it was recently used in some sort of rail test. It isn't preserved I know that much.

It was 31601 and the name was "Bletchley Park. Station X"
It may not have kept that name ! I called into the Nene Valley railway on the way past (Sunday 20th Sept) and they had a 31 there, brought back a few memories from my teen years.

There is a section on the remaining 31s both running and preserved on wikipedia.
Hope that helps.
