__TOC__
The SVR has over 80 around 70 passenger carriages, <ref>[https://www.svrtrust.org.uk/Carriage-Restoration SVR Charitable Trust, ''Carriage Restoration''</ref> dating from pre-grouping to BR Mk1s Mk1's of the early 1960s, with well over half of them in operational use. The carriages are normally operated in six matching sets, or rakes, although it is not uncommon to see more than one livery in a train as individual carriages are temporarily withdrawn for repair or maintenance and others are substituted or added to increase passenger capacity. Carriage sets usually consist of six to eight vehicles, although lengths up to ten carriages are not unusual. Carriage repairs and restorations are carried out at the [[Carriage Repair Works]].
The four five sets in regular timetabled use are;*Set C, British Rail Mark 1s Railways Mk1's in Crimson & Cream<ref>[httphttps://www.bloodandcustard.com/bloodandcustardhistory.html org www.bloodandcustard.comorg] states that Crimson and Cream rather than Carmine and Cream was the description used by BR</ref>.*Set M, British Rail Mark 1s Railways Mk1's in Maroon.*Set L, LMS (And and BR built to LMS design) in MaroonLMS Crimson Lake.
*Set N, LNER & GNR Teak
*Set GW2 (sometimes abbreviated to GW), GWR later period (1938 to 1947) in GWR Chocolate & Cream. The SVR is in the process of creating a second GWR set (GW1) which will consist of early (1910 to early 1930s) stock in older liveries.
Other sets and carriages in operational use are;
*Set GW2, GWR, both pre & post grouping, as well as BR MK1 buffet, in Chocolate & Cream. Normally only used during busy periods.*Set S, 'The [[Severn Valley Limited]]' diner set in GWR 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.<ref>Noticeboard Issue February 2017</ref> *Set VV, 'The [[Severn Valley Venturer]]' two carriages attached to a service train operating from Bridgnorth. Comprised of [[BR MK1 kitchen car 1682 Restaurant Buffet]] and LMS first open 7511[[BR 3103 First Open]].*Set T, the 'Toplights' , comprising GWR pre-grouping coaches plus spare serviceable GWR vehicles not included required in GW2GW. Very occasional use for charters, galas, and filming and other work. *Observation saloons[[GWR_80969_Inspection_Saloon|80969]] and [[GWR 80972 Inspection Saloon|80972]], two carriages which can be privately chartered and attached to a regular train.*Autotrailers[[GWR 178 Autotrailer Third|178]] and [[GWR 238 Autotrailer Third|238]], two carriages suitable for push-pull trains.
