31454 2Q08

Here is 31454 accelerating through Mexborough deputising for the failed 950001 (woop!) on the 2Q08 Doncaster-Derby via Castleford, Monk Bretton and Deepcar.

I didn't bring my tripod because I didn't expect to see this! Thanks to fcc365 for the timings.

Did 950001 really fail, or did the SERCo lads just pull a few boards out the test gear so a 31 had to be sent out?! ;)

Good point, maybe they did! :P

Beastage, especially 31454 in IC Swallow livery, 5*! :P

I saw 31454, with DBSO 9714 leading at Bath Spa on 22/07/2009!
