What type of carriage is this?

This is a photo for sale on eBay which states it is at Waterford.

What type of carriage would this 2nd class have been? It is very elegant.

It's a GSWR gangwayed compartment coach of the earlier type with arc roof and full panelling, probably built around 1900-1915 period.

From the corridor side (which we see here) it's not so easy to tell the different classes apart. It looks like a third, which would have become a second (as shown) in 1956.

Is that number 1124? 

Some vehicles of this basic type survived to get black and tan livery, and some were through-wired for use with AEC railcars.

1124 was one of thirteen 64-seat side-corridor thirds.

They were all built in 1914, bar the last which entered traffic in 1915.

Their numbers ran from 1119-1131. All survived into the 1960s, with the first one scrapped in 1961, and the rest lasting until 1967-70, thus all gaining black'n'tan livery bar the one scrapped in 1961. They eked out their last days on Cork and Dublin spare stock for busy summer days. The very last two, 1119 and 1125, lasted until 1970, just two years before the "Supertrain" era.

The one shown was withdrawn in 1967.

Thanks for this level of detail. Do any of these survive?

RPSI 1142, which is a corridor 1st, is close to this style. Downpatrick have a GSWR 3rd but don’t think it’s gangwayed

Downpatrick's 836 was a gangwayed Open 3rd, but the corridor connections weren't re-instated by DCDR. 836 was gas lit, 1124 seems to be electric.
