On 25 November 2019 locomotive 47593 delivered eight Mark 3 sleepers for temporary storage outside [[Kidderminster Carriage Shed]] until March 2020.<ref>[https://www.svrlive.com/epdec19 Express Points, December 2019]</ref> The sleepers had been displaced from Caledonian Sleeper services by new Mark 5 sleeper stock, and bought by LSL for charter use.<ref>[https://www.caf.net/en/productos-servicios/proyectos/proyecto-detalle.php?p=277 CAF] (Retrieved 16 January 2020)</ref> During this period the [[Kidderminster Loop Line]] was closed for repairs to [[Falling Sands Viaduct]] and some [[Carriages#The_carriage_sets| carriage sets]] were stabled at the north end of the line, allowing space for the vehicles to be stored. The storage period has since been extended and {{As of|2021|07|lc="y"}} the majority of the sleepers are still present on the SVR.<gallery mode=packed heights=200px style="text-align:left">LSL_Mark_3_Sleepers_20210423.jpg| Sleepers stored alongside Kidderminster Carriage Shed, April 2021 </gallery>
