9154 SR Parcels & Miscellaneous Van (PMV) S1865 BR Blue (uneven planks) - WEATHERED

Hundreds of these general purpose two-axle vans were built from the early 1920's and were used on all railway networks in the UK. With folding end doors, they continued the long tradition of the Covered Carriage Truck (CCT), a type dating back to the 19th century for the movement of road carriages and cars.

However, as motor cars grew larger, they were banned from these duties in the mid-1960s, after which newspapers, mail and parcels traffic formed the bulk of their work. Many passed into departmental use from the 1970s onwards, proving useful as storage and tool vans.
