}}The BR Mark 1 Corridor Second (SK) was the most prolific of the Mark 1 passenger stock, with more than 2,200 built. Those in the Western and Southern regions seated eight per compartment, while those on Midland and Eastern routes seated six per compartment. Early examples featured veneered walls, while later batches used formica laminates. The SKs were an early candidate for withdrawal, being replaced by Mark 2 Open, HST sets and Networker Turbo units.<ref name = StockBook>SVR Stock Book 9th edition</ref><ref name = SVRCT>SVR Charitable Trust</ref>.

It was overhauled and received a full repaint in 2000, and in early 2017 it underwent restoration at [[Kidderminster Carriage Shed]] (rather than the [[Carriage Repair Works]]), including roof repairs, overhauling of door locks and repaint.<ref>'Brach Lines' May 2017 e-newsletter</ref> It is a regular in [[Carriages#Set_C|Set C]], the BR Crimson & Cream running set.
