Was the Haxey Van a Full Brake or did it have passenger accommodation too?

Full brake. We refer to it as the Haxey van because that's the place from which we retrieved this van body.

There is detailed info on the carriage survey section of the Railway Heritage Register Partnership web site http://www.rhrp.org.uk/surveystatus.htm, specifically (with a photo) http://www.cs.rhrp.org.uk/se/CarriageInfo.asp?Ref=2521
