In winter 2019, 34562 was selected for use in the new Christmas "[[Christmas services|Steam in Lights]]" trains, requiring the positioning of two generators in the luggage cage. These fitted through the doorways by a margin of &frac34;in but left no room for the operator to get into position to work them. A section of the wire mesh cage wall was therefore carefully removed with an angle grinder in such a way that it could be welded back in later on. A hole also had to be cut in the corridor floor for the power cables to leave the cage and connect to the LED lights outside the coaches, which was done in such a waythat the hole could be plated over but still re-used in future years in required.<ref>SVR News 210</ref>.
34562 remains By 2022 it had one pair of luggage doors locked out of use with a broken door stile, and other doors showing signs of distress. An overhaul in regular service2023 was being considered.<ref>[https://www.svrlive.com/bldec22 Branch Lines, December 2022]</ref> 34562 is normally in Set C, and is still owned by the [[The 75069 Fund]].
