In 2001 one end of 12522 was derailed on trap points outside Bewdley South Box. The wagon was re-railed using the [[Smiths, Rodley DW35 6-ton steam crane|6-ton steam crane]]. Some 18 months later the wagon suffered another hot axle box; investigations revealed that during the re-railing both that bearing and another at the other end of the wagon had been displaced. Both bearings were re-metaled and machined, and the opportunity taken to replace a number of body planks using second-hand timber from a china clay wagon. A repaint was also carried out with the wagon returning to service in early 2004.<ref>SVR News 147</ref>.
In summer 2017 the wagon began another overhaul by the [[Wagon Department]] at [[Bewdley Goods Shed]]. On this occasion installation of new curb rails and replacement of floor and body timbers was requiredwith new brake pins and other parts fabricated.<ref>National Preservation Forum ‘SVR wagons 2017’ thread</ref> Early It was completed in 2018 new brake pins and other parts were fabricated, but being an ‘outside’ job, little further work was done until the summer. {{As of|March 2019|3}} the wagon is painted with signwriting underway.<ref>SVR Wagons Facebook 3 March 2019[http://www.svrwagons.uk/news.html Wagon department News]</ref>
