Hello can any one help im looking for this coach dm 3634. It has been shown in the industrial railway sociaty and the uk metro & light systems books as at the Great Ormond Street Hospital. I have visited the hospital twice now and sent sevral emails but can not seem to find out if its still there. It was used as a hospital radio station but on my last visit i managed to view the court yard through a open window but it looked as if the coach isnt there any more. has any one got any info of seen it recently. thank you mike.

westernpathfinder , Given that the courtyard it resides in has been enveloped in scaffolding since 2012, it would be difficult to pick it out as satellite images from the beginning of this year still show evidence of construction work.

The last record update by the Vintage Carriages Trust (Museum Of Rail Travel) was in 2016. The Nationwide Access Register also cites that Radio Lollipop resides in the ex-Jubilee line carriage. And then back in 2012 there were plans to enclose the tube carriage completely creating an indoor tube station that could be accessible to the children at the hospital, if this has gone ahead then it would explain why it may have appeared to have vanished.
