Please note that the caption on this photo has been changed to incorporate the information provided by sps1955, quoting details of slip coach design and operation from Michael Harris' book.
I will return to the original print and see what extra detail may be hidden in the part showing the coach..

This was the original scanned print version, but I found an un-cropped version and scanned that at a higher resolution, which resulted in a much better picture! www.ipernity.com/doc/philsutters/26500299
This is the banner for The Great Western Railway group, that I have started. I hope that those with photos of the locomotives, rolling stock and infrastructure will contribute to this group. The intention is to include only items that were built in the pre-nationalisation era, whether they were operating in that era or later. Stock built after nationalisation has other groups where it can be illustrated.
