This BR Goods Van was built at Ashford in 1969. It has a 29 ton capacity and is of type COV AB (later VAA).[1]

It arrived from Cardiff (Canton) in March 2012 and spent some years stored adjacent to Kidderminster Carriage Shed, being photographed there in March 2015 (below) and July 2021.

In April 2023, 200176 was noted in the Diesel Depot at Kidderminster, having received a coat of red paint. In June 2023 200176 was moved to a new home in the No 2 headshunt at Highley where it would be used by the P-Way department as a second storage vehicle, joining BR Goods Van 200642 which was already there.
