3083 in service and preservation
Built at the former LNERLondon & North Eastern Railway workshops at Doncaster, the interior design of 3083 incorporated LNERLondon & North Eastern Railway style teak matchboard linings and aluminium trim, with reclining rotating seats. The window spacing is also different from standard Mk 1.
Withdrawn from BRBritish Rail or British Railways service at London's Old Oak Common in 1972, it was put in to service immediately upon its arrival on the SVRSevern Valley Railway in February 1973, still in InterCity blue & grey livery. Since then it has been repainted in BRBritish Rail or British Railways Crimson & Cream (1974), BRBritish Rail or British Railways Western Region Chocolate & Cream (1980), BRBritish Rail or British Railways Maroon (1990), BRBritish Rail or British Railways Eastern Region Mock Teak (1999) and BRBritish Rail or British Railways Maroon again (2009).[1][2]
For current SVRSevern Valley Railway use, the coach has been declassified (i.e. is now 'standard' class), and the seats have been locked so they no longer rotate. 3083 is often used to extend one of the regular carriage sets.
