Poor Old Bruce Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 You could also add ex LNER/LMS/GWR and BR-built for even variety. Possibly the ex GWR ones were sometimes marked 'Restricted User' if anyone took any notice of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

billbedford Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Brake vans were common user from nationalisation. In the early sixties vans of less than 20 tons and those without side lookouts were excluded from the common user arrangements. I believe this may have been a formalisation of an existing practice.
