The SVRSevern Valley Railway is home to three 20 ton steel Ballast Hopper Wagons (type ‘Herring’) originally ordered by the London Passenger Transport Board for use on planned extension works on London Underground such as the extension of the Northern Line to Potters Bar. The wagons include ‘foldback’ buffers to allow use with L.T. electric loco stock.

The wagons, which arrived on the SVRSevern Valley Railway in July 1984, are numbered as follows:
