This former British Railways coach arrived at Whitehead on Sunday 23rd June 2003, having been overhauled for the RPSI at the Lancastrian Carriage and Wagon Works in Heysham.
It has a centre door on the corridor side, giving it 5 doors - a useful feature - but due to the expense and complexity of central door locking, this door is now permanently locked off.
