In December 2003 7284 entered Kidderminster carriage works for another overhaul. Over the years it had become one of the worst looking coaches in the GWR set, being difficult to withdraw frequently or for extended periods because it provided four of the six first class compartments available in the set. Items receiving attention on this occasion included the door locks, partial re-skinning of two doors, new droplights and attention to the windows. The roof vents were re-bedded, both lavatory roof tanks re-sealed and the compartment ceilings which had suffered water damage were re-secured and decorated. It returned to traffic on 3 March 2004.<ref>SVR News 147, 149</ref>
7284 is now owned by [[Great Western (SVR) Assoc. | The Great Western (SVR) Association]]. It is regularly used in [[Carriages#The carriage sets|set GW]] and is finished in GWR 1934-42 livery featuring the ‘shirt-button’ roundel. In mid2020-May 2020 21 it was admitted to [[Kidderminster Carriage Shed]] for repairs, once again including work on the roof tanks, door skins and windows<ref>[https://www.svrlive.com/bljun20 Branch Lines, June 2020] (Retrieved 11 July 2020)</ref>.
