What a wonderful old passenger vehicle in the PW train seen a few times.

Sadly, I am not experienced enough to recognise what it might be, but I wonder what became of it?

Thanks for the links, although the first one shows a very depressing scene which was commonplace in those days.

how wonderful for us now to be able to see such scenes
a belated thank you to Alan and perhaps a wake-up to any such stuff YOU may have out there that you can share with us....?

Thank you Bryan for drawing these films to our attention.

It brought back memories of Alan to me. I still have the excellent leather guards bag that he made for me even though it is a long time since I did any guarding duties.

It was also sad to see the demise of the Beverley - York line but good that Alan recorded some of the last activities thereon.

The coach looks to be a Great Eastern corridor coach possibly a Brake third corridor?
