I remember those trains coming through Nuneaton Trent Valley platforms 5 going East and platform 2 going to "Brum".
Some of the 31s on those trains did sound rough though as I remember.
It is funny I always associate the 31 with that working because that is what I remember them most on.Those trains were never Nuneaton jobs but we saw them every day.
