31 277 pauses at Salisbury on the 18th May 1982. As well as the number, data panel and shed allocation sticker, the cabside supports a handwritten 'NB' denoting that the locomotive has no boiler for train heating. Note also in this photo, the poster advertising London - Brussels services - by hovercraft! Passengers would have to wait a further twelve years before the channel tunnel opened!
