Great Western Short Coaches

Metro Body Style, Elliptical Roof, No luggage or guards space, 4 compartments



This style of coach is classified by Lewis as LE4MW. There were 4 designs all built with differing compartment sizes. The GWR diagrams probably best show the differences. Good luck trying to tell R4 and R5 apart!
