British Railways
General Utility Van 93722 (built in 1959)

This vehicle is no longer on the Bluebell Railway

The GUV as used for storage, painted green
15 February 2020 (Richard Salmon)

This General Utility Van came to the Bluebell in 2009 for use as temporary storage space for our Museum, during the NLHF-funded project to redevelop the Museum at Sheffield Park (as part of the Operation Undercover 3 project). It was purchased from VSOE at Stewarts Lane. In 2025 it was no longer required, and has now been sold for further preservation elsewhere.

It is the standardised BR design, comparable with the SR-designed Utility Van, in its 4-wheel or bogie versions, such as our own 2531 and 4601.

Used at one time on the Oakhampton Car Carrier Train, it ended its days on the national network as a Post Office liveried "NJV".
