Service
26921 was built in 1951 by BRBritish Rail or British Railways at Wolverton as lot number 1506 to diagram number 2161.[1] Unlike the Corridor Composite version, the Brake Third Corridor continued the use of timber framing with steel top, bottom and corner members. The livery when new in service was BRBritish Rail or British Railways Crimson and Cream. In BRBritish Rail or British Railways service the carriage was renumbered W26921M, indicating that it was allocated to the BRBritish Rail or British Railways(W) region[2].
Preservation
26921 arrived on the SVRSevern Valley Railway from Didcot on 28 August 1968 with several other vehicles, having been acquired by SVR(H). It entered service in 1968, and was one of three SVRSevern Valley Railway coaches which attended the Rocket 150 celebrations at Rainhill in May 1980. SVRSevern Valley Railway service continued until 1984 when 26921 suffered damage to a bogie due to steel left on the track by vandals[3]. The coach was overhauled at Bridgnorth[4] and now serves as the L.M.S. & B.R. Coach Department Sales Coach at Bridgnorth.
