Working with Locomotive Services, and other engineering facilities, a programme is under way to upgrade the dual-braked SRPS main line coaches with Central Door locking. 3115 has been to Cranmore for some of this work, and awaits completion of bogie overhaul.


D2767 (North British, August 1960) was due to be started up later in the day.


'37309' is the new kid on the block. A cosmetically more pleasant 37214, a spares donor.
