Some of the class, including 6014, had the Alfloc water treatment fitted 1954. Like his classmates, he had a double chimney and modified frames fitted in September 1957. From March 1959, Wolverhampton Stafford Road shed would be 6014's last allocation, where it was withdrawn in September 1962, having travelled 830,386 miles. It was eventually scrapped at Cox & Danks, Oldbury.
