From the near end as seen, the layout of 9103 comprises a toilet, two saloons with exterior doors at each end and an interconnecting door, a single compartment with an exterior door, a brake/luggage compartment with double doors and another toilet. On the far side as seen, the side corridor has a matching external door layout. The two saloons each seat 16 passengers and the compartment seats 8 for a nominal total capacity of 40. The brake compartment allowed the carriage to be attached and detached at any station and to be parked,<ref name=GWSVRA>[http://www.gw-svr-a.org.uk/9103-a-short-history.html GW(SVR)A, ''A Short History of 9103'', Mick Haynes]</ref> although in service it was probably mainly used for storage of hampers rather than as accommodation for a guard.
As built, the two saloons bore similarity internally to contemporary London Underground surface stock, being finished in Edwardian style mahogany woodwork with inward-facing bench type seats along each side. Between the bench seats was a central folding table which made access to the seats somewhat awkward. The upholstery was a dark brown moquette, the standard for first class in the period. Externally the Collett version displays the characteristics of the GWR 'bow-ended' era, without the 'toplight' windows of the prototype<ref name=GWSVRA/><ref name=Harris>[[Bibliography#Other References|Harris (1966)]] pp. 92,150.</ref>. Other changes made by Collett from the prototype included placing the two saloons next to each other with an interconnecting door (which had the incidental effect of reducing the capacity from 44 seats to 40) and the addition of the brake in the luggage compartment.
