BR Mark 1 Brake Standard Open (BSO) 9220 was built at Doncaster in 1955 to diagram number 183 of lot number 30170. Seating capacity is reduced from 64 passengers in the normal ‘Open Second’ to 39 passengers, by provision of a Guard’s compartment and luggage compartment.

9220 began life in BR's Eastern Region but later moved to the Midlands Region. It arrived on the SVR in February 1973 from Leicester, where it had been where it was in use as a guards training vehicle. It received a full overhaul at Bridgnorth after arrival, and is now in Crimson and Cream livery.

9220 is seen photographed at Bewdley in April 2015. It has been owned by the SVR Charitable Trust since 2007.
