9615 was acquired by [[Severn Valley Railway (Holdings) PLC | SVR(H)]], arriving in January 1973 from Cardiff Canton diesel depot where it had been serving as an office. After a two year restoration, it was used from the mid-1970s as part of the SVR's [[The Severn Valley Railway on the main line#SVR Carriages used on the main line | GWR main line set]] as well as on the SVR itself. Further body work attention was carried out in 1980.<ref name = "SVR9" />
