Merry Christmas all,

Just had a thought, how many mainline certified MK1 carriages are about these days with B1 bogies?

Ta!

A quick look through the Combined Volume reveals the answer is none of them; there are a number of vehicles that were built with them but they all now have B4, B5 and Commonwealth bogies.

Pity really - it was always good fun riding a Mk1 at speed with slightly overdue BR1s underneath it...

None at all? Blimey!

I suppose they are abit non standard in terms of maintenence as you'd have to keep topping up the axle boxes every now and again unlike, Commonwealths/B4s.
