Like the prototype, 9369 was an unclassified or ‘nondescript’ saloon (ie not allocated to any specific class such as first or third), and was used for private hire.
9369 spent most of its service life at Bristol. After withdrawal it saw departmental use as a Brake Third Open (BTO) numbered DW 150128, at Shrewsbury and Walsall, Norton Junction from where it arrived on 6 September 1972. It was originally purchased by a private owner, Mr John Tarrant, who oversaw a 10-year restoration. In autumn 1980, with internal restoration still not fully complete, 9369 was one of the two carriages used for filming [[The Good Soldier]] having received a coat of chocolate and cream and a couple of numbers.<ref>SVR News 59</ref>
9369 is now owned by [[Great Western (SVR) Assoc. | The Great Western (SVR) Association]]. It is normally seen in the Toplights set, but was moved into [[Carriage Repair Works | Kidderminster carriage works]] for a bogie overhaul in September 2016. It is finished in GWR 1934-42 livery featuring the ‘shirt-button’ roundel.
