Before the Portishead extension was opened in 1907, the WC&PR only had 3 wagons, but eventually this rose to 27 open wagons, 1 covered box van, and a brake van.
|
|
|
The open wagons were mostly 6 ton 3 plank open, and 8 and 10 ton 5 and 7 plank open, and mostly ex-Midland Railway. They were painted grey with white lettering. The covered box van was ex-Great Eastern Railway, and the brake van ex-Midland Railway.

Various private owners’ wagons appeared on the line, and the Clevedon Gas Works had their own PO wagons and a rectangular tar wagon.
