89 is a GWR 4-wheel Riding and Dormitory Van<ref>SVR Stock Book</ref>. In service these ran paired with 6-wheel Tool vans and were stationed at GWR loco sheds. The Tool and Riding Van pairs would be required to attend mishaps as fast as possible and were vacuum-braked to allow running at near express speeds.

89 was built at Swindon in 1908. It arrived on the SVR from Worcester in January 1972, and is situated in Bewdley yard.
