A major overhaul began in spring 1992, considered by the [[Wagon Department]] at the time to be the most extensive (and expensive) rebuild of a covered van to date.<ref>SVR News 102</ref> Both headstocks were renewed, together with the curb rails, chassis diagonal bracing and several sections of body uprights. New body planks were fitted and the vacuum brake equipment, which had been removed prior to arrival on the SVR, was reinstated. The roof was also re-canvassed and the overhaul completed in summer 1994.<ref>SVR News 107, 111</ref>
Following this major overhaul, a quick re-paint was the only work required in spring 2004,<ref>SVR News 152</ref> while canvas repairs and a roof-only repaint were also undertaken in 2008.<ref>SVR News 163</ref>.
82554 can normally be found at [[Bridgnorth MPD]] where it is used for storage. The picture below shows 82554 at Bewdley in 2012.
