Description
The 57′ bow ended designs followed on from the 70′ coaches introduced in 1922 and were externally similar. When first introduced they went into premier express services, often in 6 coach sets, on trains such as The Bristolian and the Cheltenham Flyer. They were dispersed more widely as newer designs were introduced. Right-hand coaches had the van on the right when viewed from the corridor side, as depicted by this etch.
