Bpm 29-70 150 - 161 "Sleeperette"
UIC / EVN numbering:
51 85 29-70Vehicle type:
Registration country:
1993
In 1993, the 12x units from this series are converted from Bm 22-70
000-099 passenger coaches to offer a low cost alternative for
travellers in the new hotel-train concept.
These units are given a completely new interior consisting of an open saloon with 54 reclining seats in 2 + 1 formation, and one compartment at the end for the attendant who will offer a service of drinks. The asbestos insulation has been removed, and an improved lighting system fitted. The dynamos have been removed from the bogies, and an new battery charger fitted.
The units are delivered in the "Sleeperette" livery: blue and violet with moon and stars and bright red doors.
These coaches are not a huge success with the passengers and, due to a lack of 1st class passenger coaches for interior services, the units are soon reclassified as Apm 19-70 150 - 161.
