Seems this has already been split from its new formation - being seen this week with 9701 and 977869.

Possibly will move around from time to time if Network Rail see them as make up vehicles.

Having Compared 9481 to 9701 is it possible for 9481 to be used as a DBSO if required.

Interesting comments, 9481 is a Mark 2d (1971 build) brake open second, the DBSO fleet (9701-9714) converted from later build Mark 2f (1974 build) converted to Driving Brake vehicles between 1979-1985 with 9706 being an early loss (30 July 1984) in the Polmont collision. Seems they are back in the spotlight now with DRS snapping them up for passenger use.
