Preservation Information
Already stripped of many parts preventing any return to operational condition, 50268 was acquired in 2006 with the railway’s other class 101 two car set as a source of spares.

The vehicle was very thoroughly stripped on site, restoration never being considered.

The parts from 50268 safeguarded the future running of other Keighley & Worth Valley vehicles.

50268 outside the sheds at Ingrow. 51803, one of the vehicles that benefitted from the spare parts, was under restoration in the adjacent building. Cutting was well advanced by this time, and the remains of the vehicle had gone later that month, 6/4/09. Chris Moxon
