Scrapped/Preserved Mark 3 Coaches

This is a rather sobering look at the damage sustained at Polmont:

Easy to see why the coaches were written off.

Very sobering as you say - and a lack of worry about H&S as a bloke enters a half upturned DBSO through a mangled window. What isn't seen on that video is the coach that was behind the DBSO, which ended up on the opposite side of the main train to the DBSO, on the other running line, just to the right of where the video starts (it hit the rear but one coach).

Mark 3s are great ride, comfort and leg room. So some are 40years old, but some will last another 25years in mainline services.

Great coach. BT10 bogie is the key build in Britian.
