The entire 9-coach test train was sold into preservation in 1969, with the four coaches being bought for the SVRSevern Valley Railway. All four Full Thirds were restored between 1970 and 1973, and saw service on SVR excursions on the main line as well as on the SVRSevern Valley Railway itself. The coach was also used in Carlton's 'Goodnight Mr Tom' program in 1998 along with 2 other Great western coaches .
As of 2017[update] 1087 is in service and is normally used in set GW2. It is finished in GWRGreat Western Railway 1934-42 livery featuring the ‘shirt-button’ roundel, and is owned by The Great Western (SVR) Association.
