Re: Class 31s in Edinburgh was Re: RCTS Railway Observer from tmz06003 at 16:21, Wednesday 21/12/22
I've been researching the class 31s in Edinburgh for some time now, so this is probably a good time for an update.
Although the class 31s were generally described by enthusiasts as rare in Edinburgh, the RCTS describe them as "frequent" visitors in early 1982. For certain periods in the 1970s and 1980s this is probably a fair description as this list shows:

Re: Class 31s in Edinburgh was Re: RCTS Railway Observer from tmz06003 at 16:21, Wednesday 21/12/22
I've been researching the class 31s in Edinburgh for some time now, so this is probably a good time for an update.
Although the class 31s were generally described by enthusiasts as rare in Edinburgh, the RCTS describe them as "frequent" visitors in early 1982. For certain periods in the 1970s and 1980s this is probably a fair description as this list shows:
