==Locomotive Services Limited ('LSL') Mk 3 coaching stock==
On 25 November 2019 locomotive 47593 delivered eight Mark 3 sleepers for temporary storage outside [[Kidderminster Carriage Shed]] until March 2020.<ref>[https://www.svrlive.com/epdec19 Express Points, December 2019]</ref> The sleepers had been displaced from Caledonian Sleeper services by new Mark 5 sleeper stock, and bought by LSL for charter use.<ref>[https://www.caf.net/en/productos-servicios/proyectos/proyecto-detalle.php?p=277 CAF] (Retrieved 16 January 2020)</ref> During this period the [[Kidderminster Loop Line]] was closed for repairs to [[Falling Sands Viaduct]] and some [[Carriages#The_carriage_sets| carriage sets]] were stabled at the north end of the line, allowing space for the vehicles to be stored. The storage period has since been extended and other rolling stock delivered. {{As of|20212022|12}} there were 12 10 vehicles at Kidderminsteror Bewdley, ex-Caledonian Sleepers Nos 10504 and 10513 (Mark 3A SLEP), 10648, 10650, 10675 and 10683 (Mark 3A SLE) and ex-First Great Western carriages Nos 40106, 40808, 41149, 42319, 42583 and 46012.
