New Street station
Birmingham New Street Station: lnwrbns_br4318
Ex-Great Northern Railway / LNER Buffet Car E52063E is seen
at Birmingham New Street circa 1960. Bill Bedford writes, 'this coach
started out as GNR Diagram 248E, Third Open, No 1442, and was built in 1913. It
was subsequently renumbered as No 41442 after 1925. Transferred to the Great
Central section of the LNER, it was converted to Buffet Car 52063 in 1933 to GN
diagram 78T. Note too the early truss rod underframe. This is probably in the
formation of a Birmingham to Norwich working'.
