}}GNR 2701 was designed by Nigel (later Sir Nigel) Gresley and built at Doncaster in August 1922 to GNR Diagram 164K as one of a batch of ten ‘Vestibule Composite’ carriages (the LNER generally used the term ‘Vestibule’ when describing corridor stock).<ref name=Longworth175>[[Bibliography#Other References|Longworth (2018)]] ppp.175,368.</ref> It is a Corridor Composite (CK) seating 21 first class passengers in three and a half compartments and 24 in four third class compartments. It is the oldest of the 'Gresley Teaks' on the SVR, being the only one built before the LNER came into being in the 1923 grouping.
