Carriage repairs and restorations are carried out at the [[Carriage Repair Works]]. The four five sets in regular timetabled use are;*Set C, British Rail Mark 1s Railways Mk1's in Crimson & Cream<ref>[https://www.bloodandcustard.org www.bloodandcustard.org] states that Crimson and Cream rather than Carmine and Cream was the description used by BR</ref>.*Set M, British Rail Mark 1s Railways Mk1's in Maroon.*Set L, LMS (And and BR built to LMS design) in MaroonLMS Crimson Lake.
