===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

__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 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or rakes, although it is not uncommon to see more than one livery in a train as individual carriages are temporarily withdrawn for repair or maintenance and others are substituted or added to increase passenger capacity.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 five sets in regular timetabled use are;
*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;
*Autotrailers [[GWR 178 Autotrailer Third|178]] and [[GWR 238 Autotrailer Third|238]], two carriages suitable for push-pull trains.
