What is a composite coach?
A composite coach is a railway carriage with accommodation for more than one class of passengers.
In the early days of pre-nationalisation, this typically meant that a single carriage would have had first and third class accommodation. In later years, after third-class was no longer, composite coaches featured a combination of first and second (standard) class seating.
A common misconception is that a railway carriage with passenger accommodation at one end and a guard's compartment at the other is a composite coach, but this is not the case. These carriages are classed appropriately to their passenger accommodation but with the prefix B (for brake), not to be confused with a letter B Suffix which indicates a buffet.
