A Gloucester RCandW Single Unit Parcels Car stabled in the short siding at the bottom of the shed access footbridge. It is branded ‘PARCELS SERVICE’ on the bodyside and the gangway connection cover has been painted yellow. By this date 3A49 was used for the Reading – Paddington parcels service. The Western Region examples had gangways and their two 460hp engines enabled them to haul a reasonable trailing load when needed.
