Schade eigentlich, hoffte sie schafften es bis in die achziger Jahre. Laut RMweb kamen die langen Wagen bis Scotland und in andere Gegenden von UK, leider schrieb keiner wann genau.
die langen Mark 1 Suburban sind noch schneller ausgemustert worden. Diese waren eine Spezialanschaffung für die Great Central Main Line aus London Marylebone heraus. Diese hat der gute Beeching jedoch Mitte der 60er Jahre stillgelegt. Dass die Wagen in Schottland liefen ist mir neu, war aber bestimmt nur temporär.
Zitat von Robert CarrollThere were 596 short frame and 149 long frame ones
The short frame ones were allocated to all regions except the SR
As noted above, the long frame ones were all to the WR and SR initially
Only the short frame ones survived in service into the 1970s (until 1977) on King's Cross suburban workings
Only the ER/NER had any lavatory-equipped carriages and that region (at least from new) had no non-lavatory composites
Complete sets of Mark I non-gangwayed stock could be seen from early on although this seems to have been the case mostly on the ER - I have seen at least one photo of a full set on the ScR
Mixed sets including LMS, GWR or LNER designed carriages were common until the pre-nationalisation non-gangwayed stock was phased out in the 1960s
Mixed formations of gangwayed and non-gangwayed stock could be seen and were diagrammed as such in the 1960s on the SR and WR (possibly elsewhere)
Unlined maroon was the livery applied 1956-59 (or thereabouts) and when lining was introduced there were at least two styles
So far as I can establish, only long frame ones carried green and only short frame ones carried BR blue
I have yet to find a photo of a long-frame one in unlined maroon but cannot rule out that livery
None carried lined crimson as that style was phased out very early in the 1950s - I thought it was 1951 rather than 1952
