The Bristol division encompassed a very large number of secondary routes, suburban services and branch lines. From the city itself these 2 coach sets were used for stopping services towards South Wales, Weston-super-Mare, Bath and Swindon via the Badminton route. Cross-country lines served the North Somerset coalfield passing through Radstock to the Somerset levels, while branches served Severn Beach, the docks at Avonmouth and Portishead. Farther west the Bristol division supplied trains for the Clevedon and the Cheddar Valley lines.
Supplied as a complete set of 2 coaches painted in British Railways Lined Maroon livery.
