Just found another 31+25 combo hauling a ballast train through Crewe, a day short of a month after the above pair (from the Chris Morrison Flickr collection). Drifting slightly off-topic, but both 25s in these images made it into preservation, while the 2 31s were eventually scrapped after withdrawal in the early 90s lolThis is a rather good one of a 25 and 31 hauling an HST from this thread:

31198 and 25244 at Crewe. 28 May 1986
31198 in Railfreight grey livery and 25244 in BR blue power a train of 'Seacow' ballast wagons out of Crewe on 28 May 1986. The 31 was withdrawn in March 1990 and 25244 was withdrawn in July 1986 but appears still to exist in preservation on the Kent & East Sussex Railway. The Crewe Arms Hotel...
