GWR 9615 is a Kitchen Diner First (RF) carriage. The Heritage Carriage Survey incorrectly states that "It was originally ordered in 1915<ref>Railway Heritage Register Carriage Survey</ref> to Diagram H39, but was not built until 1932, making it one of the last Bow-Ended toplight carriages". It is actually a bow ended carriage built in the mid-1920s.
In 1932 the GWR introduced a batch of dining car twin-sets, with a Kitchen First saloon (RFK) coupled to a full Third Class Restaurant Open (RTO). While in GWR and BR Service, 9615 was regularly paired with Third Class Restaurant carriage [[GWR 9627 Restaurant Third | 9627]], and both are preserved on the SVR. 9615 later saw Departmental use as No DW 150336.
