Use as workshop
2426 was purchased in 1972 for volunteer dormitory accommodation, and was used for that purpose at [[Hampton Loade]] until mid 2016. It was then moved into storage at Kidderminster, with its place at Hampton Loade taken by [[GWR 55 Riding/Dormitory Van | GWR Riding Van 55]].
2426 is the oldest bogie coach on the SVR, and is owned by [[Great Western (SVR) Assoc. | The Great Western (SVR) Association]]. The Association's long term aim is to restore it to its original condition. {{As of|2017|03}} 2426 has been moved to spent a few weeks in the siding on [[Sandbourne Viaduct]] at [[Bewdley]]before moving into the down yard for conservation work. For a few years it will become the LNER Carriage Group's workshop, replacing [[5043]] which is to be rebuilt as a fully wheelchair accessible saloon and buffet car.
