Responses elsewhere are it was the centre second class compartment. Of the three SVR CKs, 16169 and 16267 have had the handles removed and window sealed up but frame is still present. 16202 still has the handles/mechanism but has been sealed to prevent water ingress. On other lines the stretcher window was replaced by a fixed light to reduce water ingress. No comment on pre-nationalisation stock.--[[User:Patrick Hearn|Patrick Hearn]] ([[User talk:Patrick Hearn|talk]]) 08:45, 18 October 2019 (UTC)</ins></div></td></tr>

One unusual feature of these coaches was the stretcher-window situated in the middle second class compartment. These allowed ambulance crews to load stretcher-borne patients into the train, and one of the best examples of this traffic was a weekly booking from London Paddington to Bristol Temple Meads, where patients were sent to convalesce near Yatton.''<br>  </ins></div></td></tr>
