The design of these originated with the 1902 GWR Diagram P6 20 ton Ballast Hopper<ref>[http://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/gwrherring Paul Bartlett]</ref> and later 1945 GWR/BR Diagram P22 Ballast Hopper. These were not given a telegraphic code by the GWR, but were given the type name 'Herring' by BR. The London Underground examples include 'foldback' buffers to allow use with L.T. electric loco stock.
The SVR’s SVR's wagons are were numbered as follows:
