EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the elegant interior of an Excursion Stock Open Third Class Carriage built by the Great Western Railway (GWR) in May 1936. Diagram C71, this carriage is a prime example of the Art Deco style that was popular during the interwar period. The carriage's interior exudes an air of sophistication and comfort, with its curved lines, polished wood panels, and intricate metalwork. The use of rich, warm colors and plush upholstery adds to the inviting atmosphere. The large windows provide ample natural light, offering passengers a beautiful view of the passing countryside. The Excursion Stock Open Third Class Carriage was designed for leisure travel, providing a comfortable and affordable option for passengers looking to enjoy a day out or a short break. The open design allowed for easy access to the platform at each stop, making it an ideal choice for excursions and day trips. Despite its age, this carriage retains its original charm and character, transporting us back in time to the golden era of rail travel. The intricate details, from the etched metalwork to the polished wood panels, are a testament to the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into building these magnificent carriages. Today, this Excursion Stock Open Third Class Carriage is proudly displayed at the Steam Museum of the GWR, where it serves as a reminder of the rich history of rail travel and the importance of preserving our industrial heritage for future generations to enjoy.
