In LMS days it became No.14010 and was given the power classification 1P. During the 1920s it was allocated to working the directors’ saloon, but it was returned to ordinary service in 1930.
The locomotive was withdrawn in 1935, by which time it was the last single-pair driving wheel express locomotive working in Britain.
