1971 | Arrived on SVR |
1975 | Attended Rail 150 at Shildon |
26986 arrived on the SVR from Worcester in September 1971, having been privately purchased. After refurbishment, it was one of the three SVR carriages which attended the Rail 150 celebrations at Shildon in 1975, travelling there behind 8233 and 43106. It is the only one of the three carriages still based at the SVR.
26986 forms part of the LMS Maroon set (Set L), notwithstanding that it was not built until after nationalisation.
In 2016 its future as part of the SVR's LMS carriage fleet was assured through its purchase by the SVR Charitable Trust.
