 The NSW fleet suffered numerous failures in service, and by 1974 the NSW Public Transport Commission had decided to withdraw the cars from service.Eight of them were converted to loco-hauled carriages in 1982, and used on the "South Coast Daylight Express" until January 1991, and on Moss Vale and Goulburn services until November 1993.In 1974, the Victorian Railways purchased two of the withdrawn NSW 1200-class cars and modified them for Victorian use.
