The individual carriages used to make up any set can vary from day to day depending on availability and operational requirements.

There is a spare Brake brake vehicle available for each of the main sets. '''Services resuming from 1 August 2020 following the [[2020 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic]] will be formed of three rakes of mostly compartment stock, to enable better social distancing. *Set C/M 'Adventurer' services - [[BR 21254 Brake Composite Corridor]], [[BR 25498 Corridor Second |BR 25498 Standard Corridor]], [[BR 4399 Tourist Standard Open]] (wheelchair), [[BR 34562 Brake Second Corridor | BR 34562 Brake Standard Corridor]], [[BR 16202 Composite Corridor]], [[BR 25346 Standard Corridor]], [[BR 25771 Corridor Second | BR 25771 Standard Corridor]].*Set GW 'Explorer' services - [[GWR 3930 Full Third]], [[GWR 1086 Full Third | GWR 1086 Third Corridor]], [[GWR 9055 Nondescript Saloon]] (wheelchair), [[GWR 6562 Brake Composite]], [[GWR 1116 Full Third | GWR 1116 Third Corridor]], [[GWR 1146 Full Third | GWR 1146 Third Corridor]], [[LMS 26986 Brake Third Corridor]].*Set L/N 'Flyer' services - [[GNR 2701 Composite Corridor]], [[LMS 24617 Corridor Composite | LMS 24617 Composite Corridor]], [[LMS Brake Third Corridor 26880 | LMS 26880 Brake Third Corridor]] (wheelchair), [[GWR 6913 Brake Composite]], [[LMS Corridor Third 2300 | LMS 2300 Third Corridor]], [[LMS 12992 Corridor Third | LMS 12992 Third Corridor]], [[GWR 829 Full Third | GWR 829 Third Corridor]].'''

For the Pacific Power event in September 2016, a 9 coach teak set was utilised with [[LNER 7960 Kitchen Composite|7960]], the first time such a set has been put together since the 2 May 1964<ref>[https://forum.svr-online.org.uk/viewtopic.php?p=51701#51701 SVRA Forum]</ref> - by this point, the coaches had been painted in BR maroon, and it is thought the last time a 9 coach set in varnished teak livery was seen was in the early 1950s.
===Set GWGW1===The SVR is in the process of forming a GW1 set made up of 1910 to early 1930s stock in the older liveries. ===Set GW2===Great Western Chocolate & Cream , later 1938 to 1947 liveries (observed 5 October 2019)

===COVID-19 pandemic coaching sets===
During 2020 and 2021 the [[2020 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic|COVID-19 pandemic]] coaches were marshalled to provide compartment sets for groups of four to six people, an open carriage with tables for socially distanced single travellers and groups of up to four people, and a staff vehicle. No catering was provided. At August 2021 these were formed as below:
*Set Mk1 – BR Mk1: 4345, 25468, 4690, 21254, 25771, 25346, 16169
*Set GW - Great Western: 9627, 1086, 9055, 6562, 1116, 1146, 7284, 26986
*Set LMS – LMS and others: 43600, 2701, 24105, 6913, 2300, 12992, 24617, 26880
Following the return to ‘Hop On / Off’ traffic in September 2021 sets remained configured for ‘all compartment’ operation, in part ahead of Ghost and [[Christmas services]] which were being sold in this way.
