Other sets and carriages in operational use are;
- Set S, 'The Severn Valley Limited' diner set in GWRGreat Western Railway Chocolate & Cream. For a period to 2016 this was pre-book only, not shown on the timetable. From 2017 it is reduced to four coaches in order to allow the railway to operate smaller locomotives, and on a Sunday has two additional vehicles added to allow three coaches for standard passenger accommodation.[2]
- Set VV, 'The Severn Valley Venturer' carriages attached to a service train operating from Bridgnorth. Comprised of BR 1682 Restaurant Buffet and BR 3103 First Open.
- Set T, the 'Toplights', comprising spare serviceable GWRGreat Western Railway vehicles not included in GW2. Very occasional use for charters, galas, and filming.
- Observation saloons 80969 and 80972, two carriages which can be privately chartered and attached to a regular train.
- Autotrailers 178 and 238, two carriages suitable for push-pull trains.
Several other carriages are in use as volunteer accommodation or as storage.
This page includes full size carriages adapted for use as Post Office Sorting Vans (also known as Travelling Post Offices or TPOs) and General Utility Vans (GUVs). Other goods vans and brake vans are listed under Goods Wagons.
