Information

Originally designated as TCVs, the vehicles later became NVV (vacuum braked) and NVX (dual braked) under BR's TOPS computer system. Unusually, they featured a hydraulically operated central well capable of storing two cars as well as four cars on the upper deck - a 50% increase in capacity over more conventional car carrying vehicles of the time.
When introduced in the early 1960s, the TCV car transporters were used between London, York and Edinburgh in sets of five or six vehicles with a handful of BR maroon Mk1 coaches, hauled by ex-LNER Pacifics and later BR green Deltics, Class 40s, 45s, 46s or 47s. From the late-1960s onwards, they were painted in BR blue & grey and started to venture further afield on Motorail services from London and northern England to the West of England, being hauled by Class 45s, 46s, 47s and Westerns. However, they were closely associated with the East Coast Main Line throughout their career.
