Built as an SK (Corridor Second), it was one of twelve coaches modified in 1989 to form the "Travelling College" train, which, it was intended, should carry parties of school-children around the country on educational tours. The venture was commercially unsuccessful, and the Bluebell subsequently bought all twelve vehicles. Having been converted into a dormitory, it has now been stripped of the bunk-beds which were fitted to it, and is used as our "Carriage Shop" at Horsted Keynes.
