Based on an LNER design for service with the coal drop staithes at many north east stations these 13 ton capacity hopper wagons were intended for coal traffic, but were also found useful for aggregate traffic including limestone and sand where bottom discharge could be used at the destination depot, saving much shovelling!
Over 2,600 were built between 1949 and 1953 many were being withdrawn in the 1960s as economic traffic flows changed from wagonload to trainload delivery using larger capacity wagons and local station yards were closed, however some could still be found in service until circa 1980.
