}}'''Corridor Brake Third (BTK) 2233 ''' was one part of 150 originally Lot 1732 to Diagram D133, the last Lot ordered by the GWR.<ref>[[Bibliography#Other References|Harris (1966)]] p. 155.</ref> It was a Hawksworth design and was built for BR (W) by Metro Cammell in 1950 . In addition to a GWR Hawksworth design. As built the guard’s compartment it had four third class compartments seating 32, with one toilet. It was later relegated to departmental use as a breakdown train riding van, being renumbered DW 150401 (Railway Heritage Register Carriage Survey; SVR stockbook states 150461).

==Service== W2233W, as it was [[Carriage and Wagon numbering|numbered by BR(W)]], entered service in October 1952. In November 1966 it was renumbered DW150401 having been converted for Departmental use as an RCE staff and dormitory coach. It was withdrawn from that role in 1990.<ref>[[Bibliography#Other References|Longworth (2018)]] p.175.</ref>  ==Preservation==2233 was one of four such coaches purchased by [[Severn Valley Railway (Holdings) PLC | SVR(H)]] in 1990, arriving from Radyr on 30 August, the others being [[Carriages formerly resident on the SVR|2148, 2214 and 2218]]. Originally it was all four were intended primarily as for breaking up to provide a source of bogie spare wheelsets and other spares. However, but the body has been retained wheelsets proved little better than those they were intended to replace.<ref>SVR News 137, p.76.</ref>  The [[Severn Valley Railway Association#SVRA raffles|SVRA organised various raffles]] to raise funds for converting coaches for volunteer dormitory sleeping accommodation at Bewdley and Kidderminster to replace the long-serving 9082 and 9084. 2233 was the vehicle selected to become the 'new' accommodation at Bewdley. The design consisted of five double-berth compartments for occupation by regular working volunteers, while at either end there would be berths for occasional visiting volunteers in common rooms of four berths and six berths respectively. A kitchen/dining area suitable for light snacks was included, using original compartments as much as possibletogether with the facility to add a toilet at a later date. The end corridor connections have been were blanked off. The work was completed in 1996, with 2233 becoming available for use in January, 1997.<ref>SVR News 127</ref> 9082 was subsequently deemed 'surplus to requirements' and left the SVR in 2005.  The 1999 stock book suggested that another of the batch of four was earmarked for a similar conversion for use at Kidderminster. In the event, 2214 was scrapped in 1999 with the bogies, drawgear and doors being saved, while 2148 and 2218 left for a private site in Kidderminster on 25 July 2001 where they were subsequently scrapped. [[GWR 9084 First Sleeper|9084]] continued in use as sleeping accommodation at Kidderminster, where it may still be seen in the bay platform.
