New look for SRPS tour set

THE set of Mkl.1s owned by the Scottish Railway Preservation Society and kept at Bo’ness is in the process of being modified and repainted.

A change of livery will see the Mk.1s put into carmine and cream livery, replacing the lined maroon.

Four coaches, Nos. 3096, 3115, 4856 and 13229, were taken from Bo’ness to Carnforth by Nos. 37516/668 on March 17 for fitting of Controlled Emission Toilets. Also in the consist was another SRPS First Corridor (FK), No. 13230, for upholstery work and a pair of WCRC coaches, Nos. 4973 and 99723. These latter two vehicles were used to take workers to remote possession sites on the West Highland line earlier in the month.
