}}Corridor Brake Third (BTK) 2233 was one of 150 originally built for BR by Metro Cammell in 1950 to a GWR Hawksworth design. As built it had four third class compartments seating 32, with one toilet. It was later relegated to departmental use as a breakdown train riding van, being renumbered DW 150401 (Railway Heritage Register Carriage Survey; SVR stockbook states 150461).
2233 was one of four such coaches purchased by [[Severn Valley Railway (Holdings) PLC | SVR(H)]] in 1990, arriving from Radyron 30 August, the others being [[Carriages formerly resident on the SVR|2148, 2214 and 2218]]. Originally it was intended primarily as a source of bogie spares, but the body has been retained for volunteer dormitory accommodation at Bewdley, using original compartments as much as possible. The corridor connections have been blanked off.
