No 5085 - Collett 8 Compartment Bow-Ended Third
Bow-ended coaches are of a similar design to top-lights, but the coach ends are bowed out with the intention of making the gangways shorter.
5085 ended her days at Reading as an S&T mess coach - lettering on the coach alluding to this use is still visible.
