We at Saltley worked regularly on class 31's on the Birmingham-Norwich-Birmingham trains in the days before class 156/158 were put on these trains.
We quite often had six coaches on these services and a good 31 just about managed to keep time,if you got a "ropy" one then you could forget all about running to time !On odd occasions we used to get a class 25 instead and they too made hard work of it,but you got a much better "ride" with a 25 although if there was any rough bits of track you certainly knew about it!
