R2	44   56a   119   128	1872	LA9N	4 compartment first, 6 wheels Nearly all were converted to third class or workmans coaches. A few had a pair of compartment downgraded making them composites. Somehow, one became a brake third.	S10, Brake Third and U14

The most numerous of all GWR short coach designs.   Many had a compartment or two converted to a brake compartment.   Several coaches were converted for departmental use. One coach was built as a Standard Gauge body on Broad Gauge chassis' and later converted to Standard Gauge. This became the 'standard' 3rd class short coach length and later appeared in all low roof styles except LA12N.	S4 - 4 wheels, T11, T12 and T14
Lot 92	92	1870	LA9S, Saltney	2 compartment brake third, 4 wheels.

R1	141	1875	LA9N	4 compartment first, 4 wheels.   Together with the coaches built on lots 142 and 143 these made up the first 'Metro' trains.   However, these coaches looked like normal coaches of the time and did not have the distinctive features of later 'Metro' trains.   But, they did have gas lighting, making them the first GWR coaches to be built with gas lighting. They also had a horizontal bar across the droplights; presumably to prevent passengers leaning out too far.	Workmen's Third U7 and U8
S2	142	1875	LA9N	5 compartment second, 4 wheels.   Initially it appears that these rakes ran without a guards compartment, but from 1878 an end compartment of the second and third class coaches where slowly converted to guards compartments.	T13

S21	317a	1884	LA0MW	6 compartment third, 4 wheels.  These two coaches were the only 6 compartment all third short coaches. Along with the coaches built on lots 318 and 319 these coaches made the prototype gas lit 'Metro' train.   They were 6" wider than all previous short coaches and they had the what was to become the distinctive round topped doors.   The compartment windows were unique in that they reached up to the gutter and there was no wooden eaves panel;  a feature not repeated by the GWR until the Sunshine stock of 1936.   Unlike the later 'Metro' coaches they had single arc roofs.   The ends were also unique as they only had 5 panels compared to 6 on all other Dean 8'6 wide coaches.
