Keith No, that is the M prefix, meaning it's allocated to London Midland region. BR built coaches only had the prefix, pre nationalisation coaches also had a suffix to indicate their region of origin. In the case of this van, which was built by the LMS, it's number in BR days should have been M31024M. Wasn't always the same prefix & suffix. Scottish region allocated coaches had 'Sc' prefix, but the suffix was (usually) either E or M, depending on the pre nationalisation region. Eg ScxxxxE or ScxxxxM. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look no further...... Lovely set of photos there - I'm now wondering exactly where on the WCML it is and why has it (apparently) stopped mid section.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, not a lot to go on re identifying the location; a rail-over-road bridge, a 4-track section and APC magnets indicating a neutral section - these might help narrowing the location down. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing somewhere around Bourne End. I did think it might have been near Ledburn Junction, but the surrounding countryside doesn't look right. Unfortunately, my dad, who took the photo, is no longer with us, and I only discovered these whilst clearing the house.

KeithMacdonald Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 An intriguing picture from AndrewHAs Quote Royal Navy . 34RN91 . Newton Abbot Railway Station , Devon . April-1974 . If it wasn't for it saying "Royal Navy", one might assume it was a prison van and Norman Stanley Fletcher was about to make an appearance. But what was a Royal Navy bus doing at Newton Abbot Station? Not exactly the kind of Devon place one would normally associate with RN (like Dartmouth). Or was it collecting the crew of HMS Troutbridge after another navigational exercise led by Sub Lieutenant Phillips? 10 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you probably hit the nail on the head when you mentioned Dartmouth - which happens to have a rather important naval establishment nearby.
