Around 2017, 4690 and the other wheelchair accessible carriages were equipped with 'on-board' wheelchair ramps. 4690's ramp was pictured in SVR News at the time and can be seen in the photograph above.<ref>SVR News 198</ref>
On 13 August 2019 4690 was withdrawn to allow it to have a repaint and repairs, its place being temporarily taken by newly-restored [[BR 4399 Tourist Standard Open]]. 4690 returned to service in early November 2019.<ref>SVR News 208</ref> Following the [[2020 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic]] 4690 has been fitted with clear screens between each set of tables to enable better social distancing; these can be seen in the interior view picture above.
