Good review, however there was 1 other diagram namely Night Cap bar... the Mk2 AC pullmans were exclusive to the WCML, whereas the Mk1 pullmans were exclusive to the ECML right into the mid 70s in reverse blue grey...however 1st class cars only, some of the 2nd class parlours were liveried in Standard BR blue/grey as 1st opens... the night cap bar in blue grey was used on WCML night sleeper trains in the 70s eith a M prefix & a E suffix

Thanks for the clarification always willing to learn more - I wish there was a good book documenting the history of Pullman Cars on the system. I can’t seem to find one.

Managed to snag 4 for £35 each. Ridiculous that they’re going for £70 each nowadays

I just picked one up for £65 and that was a second hand one!

Lovely coaching stock mate, always thought Mk 1s were classier looking.👍
