Query on Departmental Coach at York
I just unearthed this photo taken by me in York sometime in the 80 - 90s.
It looks like number 320275 but not sure.
Can anyone fill in any more detail?
Has it survived?

By strange coincidence I have some photos taken some time ago of probably the same vehicle. My photos show it as 320274.Bryan wrote:I just unearthed this photo taken by me in York sometime in the 80 - 90s.

Re: Query on Departmental Coach at York
I can believe it to be 274 its just the last figure is a bit indistinct.
There is also a reach wagon coupled next to it.
Will post photo later.

Jim may be on to something. It looks remarkably similar to a former GNR Dia. 274 Lavatory Brake Third, built Doncaster 1907.James Brodie wrote:Dear Sirs, is the coach in question an old Brake Composite Toilet (BCL) Jim Brodie.

It is an ex GN 58' semi corridor brake, and I should be able to identify it from the service stock list - if I can find it!
Re: Query on Departmental Coach at York
I believe it was broken up a couple of years and burned but I think the bogies were saved by an RPS.

This is the reach wagon I mentioned earlier.
