jimmysbow Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Hello Can anyone help with the following please:- Were any ex-LNER Thomson suburban carriages (including Lav composites) repainted into BR blue livery at the end of their careers and if so are there any photos of them. Thanks in advance John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERS Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 'Don't think any made it into blue, by the time it came into play their numbers would have been pretty well decimated by the impact of a shrinking railway, even BR std suburbans were being culled before blue started to be applied. There were some Thompson corridor coaches that made it to blue and grey, mostly buffets, and the 6w BY full brakes lasted well into the 70s, a good number of which were painted blue. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmysbow Posted March 28, 2021 Author Share Posted March 28, 2021 Hello Thanks for your reply,I did think that might be the case, but wasn't sure as the only photos I have seen of them towards the end of their lives are in black and white and I wondered if the odd one had lasted to be painted blue.
