Brake Van E.2
Second of the first initial batch of four-wheel brake vans supplied by the Metropolitan Carriage & Wagon Co., of Saltley Works in Birmingham for the opening of the Peel Line. Following the introduction of the first bogie passenger stock the four-wheel brake vans were eventually phased out and this particular example was later used from 1924 as a grounded store at Santon Station where it was scrapped 1973 in situ. The base that carried this remains at the station today as a flowerbed. The underframes were scrapped. The accompanying illustration shows the initial proposed van which would have encompassed one second class passenger compartment, in the event this was not commissioned.
