Ref 1 : Wooden Framework1) Bottomside -
This is a length of wood (often made up from several
shorter lengths) that runs the whole length of the coach,
one on either side.
2) End Bar - This is a length of wood that joins the
two Bottomsides together, one at each end of the coach.
3) Cross Member - These are located at various
intervals along the coach and cross from one bottomside
to the other, these enable the longitudinals (4) to be
held in place and then the flooring can be laid and
secured in place. Note: Cross Members are also known as
Crossbars or Partition Bearers.
4) Longitudinals - These short sections of wood run
the length of the coach between the cross members (3).
5) Upright - Normally an upright will be fitted to the
bottomside (1) by a tenon and mortise joint, this then
extends to the cant rail where it is again joined by a
tenon and mortise joint. However, on a TPO some coaches
have two uprights with a large section of wood in
between, this allows for the inclusion of sorting
fittings inside the coach. Note: Uprights are also known
as Pillars.

these are known as 'top light rail' and 'bottom light
rail' if there is a window that requires a frame or a
'waist rail' if it is used to join two adjacent uprights.
