1992 | Arrived on SVR |
After main line service, 31420 was used as a stationery stores vehicle at the BR printing works at Crewe, where it was given the departmental number XDB 977023. It arrived on the SVR from Stonebridge Park, North London in 1992, initially intended as a source of bogie spares. However it has remained intact, being mainly used as a components store at Kidderminster Carriage Works. Unlike the other SVR's other LMS-designed but BR-built carriages, 31420 was in the BR Crimson and Cream livery which it would have carried when entering service until a repaint in March 2017.
