163 to leave the SVR
Until 2018 it was a membership body by subscription. It then became a supporters' organisation with no membership, due to the membership secretary departing for other projects and no replacement being forthcoming.<ref>Trust Facebook post 14 August 2019 (Retrieved 23 April 2020)</ref> It publishes an annual newsletter 'The Barry Octopus'. The Trust is "working towards the aim of becoming a Charity and have made several steps towards this goal."
==Leaving the SVR==
With volunteers' progress hampered by working in the open air, plus the [[2020 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic|Covid lockdowns and other imposed restrictions]], progress slowed. Consequently, with restoration work needing to be re-done as well as the ongoing restoration still to progress, limited potential usage on the SVR and no undercover storage, in 2022 the Trust and Railway agreed that 163 will leave the Railway. The trustees intend either the team continues restoring the coach on another nearby site, or the vehicle is transferred to a new owner with similar aims and for restoration work to continue<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/BarryRailwayCarriageTrust/photos/a.510853185709465/4949080231886716 Barry Railway Carriage Trust on Facebook, 30 April 2022]</ref>.
