Allocated to Cambridge in October 1963 and due to be transferred to Departmental Stock as No.24. It was used at Cambridge Carriage Sidings and travelled under its own steam for servicing at the Stabling Point established on the site of Cambridge MPD after it closed on June 18th, 1962. The proposed transfer and renumbering did not take place as by the end of November it was in store at March MPD, the premature demise probably due to overall poor mechanical condition. Following official withdrawal from service in early 1964 it was removed to Doncaster Works in February 1964 and cut up in the following month.
