Room lighting was switched off-only using the layout lights for a change.

I like the 31s too, or indeed anything in the "BR Blue" era! I witnessed the start of this in a family holiday to North Wales at a time when steam had just ended on that line, and what went past all day was 101 class railcars (THEY call them "DMU"s), class 47s on long-distance expresses to Holyhead - often loading to about 12 bogies, as far as I remember - loose-coupled goods trains and class 24 or 25s...something like that.... most trains were a mix of blue/egrey and maroon carriages..... and I had better hearing and less years on the clock.

Senior went over to Brexitland about once a year on Permanent Way Institution jaunts, and took a few pics in various parts of Britain; thus:
