31271 will work an extra date this coming Saturday 10th May at NVR during a TPO event marking the opening of the Yarwell mail bag apparatus.
In between working passenger trains to Peterboro , 31271 will work a series of TPO services to Yarwell demonstrating mail bag 'pick up' and 'drop off' utilising the equipment recently installed there. Class 31s were regulars on most of the TPO services in East Anglia for many, many years and therefore the use of 31271 is extremely appropiate.
Full details can be found at www.nvr.org.uk/timetable/tpo.php and in Loco Roster .
