3052     (7) S290S

(7) unable to ascertain why this Brighton Belle motor coach was at Wolverton it was in the main yard with the other Pullman coaches it ended up on the Nene Valley in 1980 but was scrapped in 1995 after arson

Pullman 1 E312 333 E334 336 338 339 340 341 342 345

These were all in the main yard so may have been in store or condemned awaiting disposal

IBIS 1925 Pullman coach used on the Golden Arrow and then Southampton Boat Trains until withdrawn in 1967 by 1973 it was part of the Tyseley set up, not known what it was doing at Wolverton
it appears to have been inside one of the buildings so may have been receiving some attention

Royal Train 499 798 799 5154 2901 31209

These were all in the royal train shed. We were only allowed to look down the lines from the doorway whilst our guide went round and called out the numbers

806         (This was probably in one of the workshops. It was marked sold. Withdrawn from the royal train in 1971. 1903 LNWR vehicle.)
