It entered service with BR in 1948 Working between [[Bewdley North signal box|Bewdley]] and served as the Shrewsbury Area Manager's saloon. It [[Bridgnorth]] is now used as an Observation Carcontrolled using tokens, normally being attached according to the end [[ETT|Electric Train Token]] Regulations. This system ensures that only one train can enter each section of track at any given time. The present day SVR uses a rake later type of carriages for private hire or ‘cream tea’ specialsinstrument called a 'key token' instrument, so named because each token resembles a large key.
