This carriage was converted in 1980 to accommodate wheelchair passengers by removing the panelling from the large luggage compartment and replacing it with non-opening windows with softwood frames; internally platform benches were added and an opening between the double doors and former luggage area.  It was outshopped in the then-standard maroon and pale cream livery with yellow lettering and the modified crests applied; two large windows were also created in the rear bulkhead at this time, and vents from other members of the series fitted along the top of the luggage compartment area, replacing what had been fixed windows.  In this form it survived in traffic until withdrawal at the end of the 1989 season, after which it was stored and scrapped in 2003, the bogie runner surviving until 2011 when it too was scrapped, leaving only F.43 and F.49 as representatives of this type of carriage.
