Following withdrawal in the early 1960s, 9103 became part of the “Westward Television Train”, an exhibition train which visited 22 towns to publicise the opening of Westward Television in 1961<ref>[http://www.78rpm.co.uk/westward.htm 78rpm.co.uk] retrieved 8 July 2015</ref>. It arrived at Bewdley in January 1972, having been privately purchased from Danygraig, Swansea, and was returned to service in 2013. The high quality restoration of the coach resulted in the Heritage Railway Association winning the title of Overall Winner in the Carriage and Wagon category of the Heritage Railway Association Awards in November 2015.<ref name="SVRNews192">SVR News 192, "Great Western (SVR) Association Progress", Gareth J.
