    On the SVR, we have 2 GWR sleepers, several MK3 sleepers, and several other coaches converted. The sleeping coaches at Bridgnorth are planned to be replaced as part of the redevelopment and the sleeper at Hampton Loade (a converted Churchward toplight third and is the oldest GWR coach on the line) is planned to be replaced and land-based accommodation built.
    While I can't comment on the rest, the sleeper at Kidderminster for the station is acceptable, being comfortable for a few nights here and there. Fortunately, with Kidderminster being more easily accessible by road and rail, most staff using it are just for a night or two, or maybe over a special weekend event like say the Autumn Gala where having staff close to hand is useful. This means wear 'n' tear isn't particularly high.
