Lab 4 was purchased on 8/4/03 by the Hastings 60750 Group and moved overnight to Walthamstow where repair will begin shortly. The vehicle is to be restored as a static buffet car with the side not shown here painted green with its original number S60750. I would like to thank Hastings Diesels Ltd for their considerable assistance.

It's perhaps interesting to note that 'Hastings' was the left over buffet car after the Hither Green disaster in November 1967. So many of the Class 201 vehicles were destroyed in the crash that there was one spare buffet surplus. Derby RTC staff found her at Mickledever sidings being used as a paint store while searching for a 'narrow body' vehicle for use in the APT development programme.
