I just put this locomotive's number into Google to see what sort of state it might be in, and I found one of those curious Google Images fails...

I'm sure I read somewhere that 31465 now belongs to HNRC and is in need of new wheelsets, I may well be behind the times though

October edition of The Railway Magazine seems to confirm that you are correct in stating the new owner of 31465.

From July 2015: Two Class 31 locomotives up for grabs - Network Rail gives 120 hours to bid for 50 year old diesels/

These engines have a huge route availability and can reach bits of the network that most other locomotives are barred from, such as the central Thameslink route via Farringdon, this will increase the value.
