Does anyone know when British Rail stopped using Brake Vans with these, and later dispensed withg guards?
- As far as I'm aware the brake vans went in 1968 when the requirement to have a brake van on a fully fitted train was dropped. Guards were still in use in the late 1980s sitting in the rear cab of the locos.BaseTurnComplete (talk) 21:02, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

- Well stone me, if I wasn't looking through my old Motive Power Annual 1987 the other day and wondered the same thing, having found this on page 76: "A southbound MGR train, en route for Fiddlers Ferry from Lakeland Colliery, approaches Sellafield on 16 August 1985 with a Class 47 at the front and the obligatory guard's van for these trains on the rear."
