The principal dimensions are as follow:—Length over body, 65ft. lin.; width over body, 8ft. 11 ¼in.; bogie wheelbase, 9ft.; tare weight, 76,1601b. A feature is the provision of a cork floor, laid on dovetailed steel sheeting. This largely eliminates track and running noises and adds immeasureably to travel comfort. Each compartment contains cent. of the the accommodation on trains being placed at the smoker's disposal. Even in these days, however, there are numbers of people who object to smoking in railway compartments, and in order to make matters quite clear the Home lines are to label every compartment “Smoking” or “Non-smoking” as the case may be. This arrangement, it should be understood, applies to the mainline railways only. On the London suburban routes a somewhat different method is being adopted, whereby all “non-smoking” compartments are specially labelled, and smoking is permitted in all cars not so distinguished four berths—two lower and two upper. A sliding door gives access to the compartment, and the interior fittings include a mirror, luggage rack, coat and hat hooks, individual reading lamps and bell pushes, steam heaters, and air-conditioned ventilating apparatus. The attendant's compartment is fitted with a gas-heated hot-water boiler for supplying water for tea, etc., a sink, draining board, and cupboards for crockery, glasses and provisions.
