This coach was a BR Mk.1 TSO, ex- S 3500, in Departmental service it was allocated to the CM&EE as an office. The livery was olive green overall.
It was unusual at this period for the Southern to use Mk.1's in departmental service, as there were plenty of Maunsell (and even pre-Grouping!) coaches available to choose from.

The disposal of this one is still a bit of a mystery although we suspect it was scrapped on site around the time of the CTRL works in the area unless anyone knows different!

I believe S3500 became 082241 in 1967 at Weymouth before being renumbered to DS70320 in 1971.
