Service and preservation[edit | edit source]
24845 was built at Derby in 1955 to Diagram 146 (AA201), Lot 30153. It entered service in the London Midland region in August 1955, transferring to the Western region in March 1984.[2]
24845 arrived on the SVR on 11 December 1986 from Old Oak Common. It is one of four such coaches converted for use as staff accommodation at Bridgnorth, where it can be seen in "George's siding" adjacent to Platform 1. In 2023 ownership of the four vehicles was transferred from the defunct Severn Valley Railway Association to the Severn Valley Railway Company Limited[3].
