Changes

829 was purchased direct from passenger service, arriving from Didcot in August 1968. In 1978-80 it received a major bodywork overhaul by a full time gang funded by the [[Manpower Services Commission]], including replacement of all galvanised steel side and end panels, roof repairs, reglazing, internal varnishing and seat upholstery. After a spell in Bewdley Paintshop it emerged in full GWR Hawksworth livery just in time to attend the Rocket 150 cavalcade at Rainhill in 1980. [[Severn Valley Railway Timeline 1980-1989#1980 | 1980]]. In true Severn Valley tradition final finishing of the compartment interiors was carried out at Bold Colliery, St Helens in the week before the Rainhill parade.
