With her non-standard blue livery almost matching the cloudless summer skies at Boughton, 31289 waits in the platform during the Northampton & Lamport Railway's #DoubleDieselDay last Sunday. The #NLR ran hourly round trip services using either 289 or 31601, or both. #PedWatch 12/7/26

A great day of Ped bashing on the Northampton & Lamport Railway today. Met up with some old friends & great to also put some faces to names from railway social media. And of course @bennybizzle1.bsky.social driving this beast, 31601, all day. #NLR #PedWatch 11/7/26
