One of the wagons used in special trains to move the livestock and equipment belonging to Circuses and Fairs. Ex Great Western Railway horse box (telegraphic code PACO) No W707 can be seen here carrying a Bertram Mills Circus branding. This Diagram N16 horse box was built at Swindon Works in 1937 as part of lot 1577 and could well have been one of those that formed part of Train No1, described in the British Railways (Western Region) Special Traffic Instruction No 755 (issued May 1954).
