GWRGreat Western Railway 4-wheeled horse box 542 was built at Swindon in 1888 to Coach Diagram N4, Lot 437. It was condemned August 1930 and the body subsequently grounded on
Highley platform.
[1] It was still in situ when the line was bought by
SVRSevern Valley Railway in 1970. Since then it has remained in place, and is now used as a bookshop by the
Highley Station Fund. As of 2020
[update] the Presentation Committee is exploring options for saving and possibly restoring it
