328 "Opal"

Built in 1960 by Metro Cammell. Came to NYMR in 1979.

These Pullman Cars are of the 1960 design and were manufactured by Metro-Cammell of Saltley, Birmingham. Forty-four were ordered from the company for the Pullman services on the East Coast Main Line. Opal ended its working life on the Hull Pullman and was withdrawn from service in June 1978 at York. Opal was purchased by Jos De Crau and delivered to the NYMR in 1979. It was restored in Pullman umber and cream livery, with its original name in 1982. After many years in service, it was withdrawn from traffic for overhaul and returned to traffic in Pullman splendour in 1998.
