It is being restored to full LSWR passenger livery of salmon and umber with black and vermillion lining and gold blocked lettering on the doors. The running gear is being overhauled with new suspension rubbers and split pins.

When no longer required for this traffic, it was used as an ordinary luggage van and numbered 1451 by the Southern Railway in 1929, who used it until 13th September 1939. After this date it was kept at Tisbury and used as a store for agricultural merchandise. Purchased from there in 1971 by the Lea Valley Railway Group, it is now owned by the QRS.
