"Fat Annie" Guards Van Variant
In 1942 two Guard's vans were built on the same 56 ft type underframe to create vans to match the 56 ft carriage stock. The first two vans had narrow vestibules at both ends, and a further 19 vans built in 1943-44 only had this at one end. These vans were used on principal expresses in both Islands until the 1980s.
