You can see the ramp up to the rear of the train, they'll just remove the corridor covers and the bikes can begin loading. It was a about a week later when some idiot reversed a car up the ramp by mistake and smashed into the back of the coach removing the body from the frame that a BR boffin realised there may be money moving cars on the back of Mk1 coach frames and MotorRail was born.

It seems at least at Sidmouth Junction that something extra was done to help drivers, I assume when the class 2's and 3mt tanks were introduced which were brand new compared to the M7's they had for decades before. On a slightly moderner note, now sadly gone, these markers were on the fuelling point wall in Bescot right up until it was demolished when class 66s and the occasional 60 were the only visitors, all other classes were long gone from EWS’ books! 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium keefer Posted November 18, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 18, 2022 From the Flickr post: "An unidentified ex-GWR pannier tank and the stock of The Pines Express, including RF M322 in the then-new blue/grey livery, at Oxford, 20-11-65." The lettering on the side is just another variation of the transition era - Sometimes upper-case, sometimes not and not always in 'Transport' font. Have also seen a good few b/g vehicles, as here, still with the designation '...Car' 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
