SOUTHERN REGION (SR) GENERAL MANAGERS SALOON NUMBER 975025

The Inspection Saloon came out of a the withdrawal of a 6B Hastings DEMU Buffet Car 60755 in 1964 and was rebuilt as an Inspection Saloon which started in 1969. It was converted to be driven from either end whereas it can only be driven from one end currently. Its claim to fame was in 1981 when it was used to convey HRH The Prince of Wales, and his late wife Diana, to Romsey. The following year it was provided when the Pope travelled from Gatwick Airport to Victoria.
