British Rail built a large number of Mk1 General Utility Vans for the purpose of transporting mail and parcels around the network. Later in life, these versatile vans saw conversion for use on Motorail services and for other purposes. A few examples can still be seen dotted around the network and several have also made their way into preservation. |
