Subsequently Peter Hall has been producing Amendment Sheets detailing subsequent changes.

An increasing number of carriages once preserved have subsequently been scrapped. These are detailed in Preserved coaching stock disposals. This is still very much a work in progress with numerous queries, anything that updates what is recorded would be welcomed.

Please contact Peter Hall with any updates or additional information.
