==Leaving the SVR==
With volunteers' progress hampered by working in the open air, plus the [[2020 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic|Covid lockdowns and other imposed restrictions]], progress slowed. Consequently, with restoration work needing to be re-done as well as the ongoing restoration still to progress, limited potential usage on the SVR and no undercover storage, in 2022 the Trust and Railway agreed that 163 will leave the Railway. The trustees intend either the team continues restoring the coach on another nearby site, or the vehicle is transferred to a new owner with similar aims and for restoration work to continue.<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/BarryRailwayCarriageTrust/photos/a.510853185709465/4949080231886716 Barry Railway Carriage Trust on Facebook, 30 April 2022]</ref> The trust and vehicle are expected On 29 April 2024 it was moved to the rail-connected bay goods platform in preparation for a move by rail to [[Kidderminster]] and onward road transport to a new home at the Gwili Railway<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/BarryRailwayCarriageTrust Barry Railway Carriage Trust on Facebook, 1 May 2024]</ref>.
