Remarkably these stayed in service until 1971! So maybe someone here has travelled on them? Really one-and-a-half deckers rather than double deckers, as Adrian Vaughan puts it in "Railway Blunders"* "passengers were akin to sardines in a tin" - not much social distancing in any direction including up and down!
When we're allowed out again a couple of these carriages are preserved, at least one on public view I think (although in pretty rough condition) at the Northamptonshire Ironstone Railway Trust.
