This vehicle, photographed at Berwick in March 1987, is an ex-LMS design of 50' inspection saloon of which 14 were built by the LMS and five by British Railways, with at least one (presumably this one) working on the Southern Region. Note the Southern-style blinds for the rear lamp aspect.

TDB975025 was formerly a 6B Hastings DEMU buffet car. It was withdrawn in 1964 and stored until 1969. It was then converted into an inspection saloon for the Southern Region's General Manager. Its most celebrated working was to convey the Prince and Princess of Wales to Romsey for their honeymoon when it carried the apt, but not correct for this route, headcode CD. It is pictured here at St. Leonards depot in 1999.
