Restoration

Above: F.10 is one of two identical all-thirds carriages that remained in regular use from the earliest batches, the other being F.11; used latterly as a spare carriage and in poor condition, it was withdrawn in 2019 and work commenced by off-site contractors on a complete restoration; it returned to the railway in 2022 (at which time its place was taken by F.11 which is receiving similar treatment), and is presently in the workshops at Douglas Station being completed for a return to service in 2023.
