BARBARA was built as sister to THEODORA for the Hastings services and was No. 185 in the Pullman Company's lists. Her interior was panelled in pomele panels in pear tree, with oval centres containing baskets of flowers. The carpet was crimson with chair coverings of similar colour. She had a similar pre-war history, but unlike her sister was converted to a buffet car in January 1946 and labelled 'Refreshment Car'. Her coupe was removed; the lavatory converted to a pantry; the bar section enlarged & completely restyled; and more modest but comfortable leather seats supplemented by stand seats and stools. She worked on the London - Hastings services until dieselisation in 1958. Repainted green and numbered S7877S following sale to BR in 1960, withdrawal from the Southampton service occurred in December 1963. The car accompanied No. 184 to the K&ESR in September 1964. Restored to Pullman livery, full interior restoration, comfortable Pullman seating and again carrying the name, BARBARA has given many years of service on the Wealden Pullman. BARBARA received further extensive restoration in 1997 and now seats eighteen at tables for two.
