'''Carriage type BSK (Brake Second Corridor)''' designates a carriage with a Guard's compartment(with a large luggage area), together with second (later standard) class passenger compartments accessed from a corridor.
Following the introduction of TOPS in the late 1960s, BR carriages of this class were allocated the [[TOPS code]] '''AB21''', denoting:
2: Second (later standard) class<br>
1: BR Mark 1 carriage
The SVR is home to five BR-built BSK carriages, although only 34562 and 35315 remain in 'as-built' condition.
