In June 1990, 94059 and [[Cadbury's 346 Goods Van]] were included in the demonstration goods train for the "Heavy Freight Weekend" event. A number of the wagons were derailed on trap points at the north end of Bridgnorth station at the end of the event and both wagons suffered damage. 94059’s bodywork was already in poor condition and an overhaul was undertaken the following year. This included complete replacement of body timbers and the curb rail.<ref>SVR News 96, 98, 102</ref>
A further overhaul was carried out in 2011. The second-hand floor planks used in 1991 were replaced with new keruing Keruing and a number of other planks were also replaced. The brakes were restored to the original as-fitted DCII arrangement using a mixture of spare components and newly fabricated parts.<ref>SVR News 175</ref>
94059 is owned by [[The GWR 813 Preservation Fund]].
