Category:Carriage Type BSK

Carriage type BSK (Brake Second Corridor) designates a carriage with a Guard's compartment (with a large luggage area), together with second (later standard) class passenger compartments accessed from a corridor.

Following the introduction of TOPS in the late 1960s, BR carriages of this class were allocated the TOPS code AB21, denoting:

A: Passenger carrying stock
B: Gangwayed corridor brake
2: Second (later standard) class
1: BR Mark 1 carriage

The SVR is home to five BR-built BSK carriages, although only 34562 and 35315 remain in 'as-built' condition.
