Description
This was the most numerous of the open composites, which were quite rare on the LMS. The Period III design had the same layout as earlier stock with the entrance vestibules inboard and the toilets and luggage shelves at the ends. They were used as dining cars although not branded as such, and were often seen marshalled next to a restaurant third (Comet M47). Flexible in use, they had detachable class boards inside the saloons, though the entrance doors were branded ‘1’ and ‘3’.
