Steve Kesterton comments “i commuted from Bletchley to Euston for several years. The rush hour Non stoppers from Euston to Leighton and Bletchley saw some fantastic runs.
A mistimed Old Linslade phot of 310086 Euston bound passing 310077 at Old Linslade on February 12th 1983
Below is one of the few 310 logs your webmaster made, a good run with plenty 75mph plus running!!!
