London, Midland & Scottish Railway
Sleeper Third No. 603 (built by BR in 1951)

This vehicle is no longer on the Bluebell Railway

The carriage as repainted into LMS colours
(Richard Salmon - July 2000)

This LMS designed coach was actually built by British Railways shortly after nationalisation. It has eleven third-class compartments, each with two bunk berths, and an attendant's room. It was used on the West Coast Main Line sleeper services out of Euston, until reducing demand led to their withdrawal.

British Railways took official photos of this very carriage, now available via Getty Images:

• Exterior,
• Corridor,
• Compartment.

It was purchased by the railway, with funding from a group of Bluebell volunteers for use as overnight sleeping accommodation, having previously been preserved at Steamtown, Carnforth.

Offered for sale at the begining of 2022, a new owner was found who removed the carriage from the Bluebell in December 2022.
