}}'''GWR 9653 ''' is a '''Collett bow-ended Restaurant Third Open ''' (RTO) carriage.

It '''10020''', as it was originally numbered, was built in October 1925 as lot number 1359 to Diagram H32,<ref>[[Bibliography#Other References|Harris (1966)]] p. 150.</ref> and initially formed one end of three-car articulated (“Tri-art”) dining set H32. The articulated sets were an attempt to reduce train weights by means of two carriages sharing a single bogie. However the relative lack of flexibility of this arrangement, and the introduction of more powerful locomotives, led to the sets being rebuilt to Diagram H52<ref>[[Bibliography#Other References|Longworth (2018)]] p.110.</ref> as three single units in 1937April 1936. 9653 later saw Departmental use as No DW 150032 in the second WR Control Train.<ref name=stockbook>SVR Stock Book Ninth Edition</ref>
