Wake Up!  I posted a sighting of this car some time ago :)

this morning (Thurs 17/12) it was the 4th car of the morning down Sale pass.  Now
it appears alterations are as follows:
Fitting BN type seats (yuk!)
Removal of toilet from east end, so seats go right up to vestibule (like a BN
car).  An additional window (same size as other Z car saloon windows) has been
fitted.
Toilet fitted in former Conductors area

don't take any of the above as gospel though, I was over on Plat 9 on my way to 7.

Cheers,
CH.
