- alternativeuncountableAlternative form of floorspace.
The semi-streamlined contour of the earlier G.W.R. railcars has been given up in favour of a more utilitarian blunt-nose end, and effective floor space gained thereby. A revenue-earning floor space of about 450 sq. ft. is provided, sufficient for about 10 tons of parcels.
