Changes

25346 was one of several coaches "stopped" in 1999. During 2000 most of the body at the lavatory end was rebuilt at [[Carriage Repair Works#Bewdley_Carriage_and_Wagon_Department|Bewdley]], several doors were re-skimmed, all the windows resealed, the seats were fully reupholstered in new moquette, and most of the interior revarnished. The moquette was an experimental grey and pink design developed for First Great Western Railway but not subsequently taken up by them, with all sixteen rolls of the cloth being acquired by the SVR for use in the 1960s liveried coaches. The carriage was then repainted into 1960s BR Maroon livery at Kidderminster. 25346, which effectively seats 48, was transferred from [[Carriages#Set_C|Set C (BR Crimson and Cream)]] to [[Carriages#Set_M|Set M (BR Maroon)]] in order to increase the seating capacity in the Set C by exchanging it with [[BR 4545 Tourist Standard Open| TSO 4545]] which seats 64. 25346 was outshopped at the end of February 2001 with 4545 taking its place in the paint shop for its repaint from Maroon into Crimson and Cream.<ref>SVR News 133, 135</ref><ref name = SVRCT/>

By winter 2009-10 25346's wheels had become worn and required a wheelset change. The larger wheels in turn required the ride height to be adjusted by re-tensioning the springs on the bogies to ensure that the steps in gangways did not exceed the permitted amount. New bearing pads were also provided and brake rigging repairs carried out to eliminate wear. Repairs were made to the steam-pipe and a new set of overhauled Buckeye couplings were fitted.<ref>SVR News 168</ref> Later in 2010 the carriage underwent its '10 year' overhaul at Kidderminster, which was completed just in time for that year's Santa duties.<ref>SVR News 173</ref>
