Changes

2701 was purchased in 1994 by [[The LNER (SVR) Coach Fund]] from Stoneyford Lodge, with a view to restoration. The move to the SVR was achieved with the aid of a lorry, two cranes and some difficulty. In 2001 the Heritage Lottery Fund awarded a grant of £84k towards the cost of restoration, and GNR No 2701 entered SVR service in July 2008, being formally launched into service on 16th August of that year by Mr Tim Godfrey, a grandson of Sir Nigel Gresley. It was declared the overall winner in the Heritage Railway Association Carriage & Wagon competition 2009<ref>vintagecarriagestrust.org</ref>.
