The standard British English term for a passenger vehicle on a train, equivalent to the American railroad car. In the UK, railway carriage specifically implies a passenger car rather than freight stock, though loosely it can mean any rail vehicle. The distinction between carriage and car is a classic transatlantic lexical difference.
The railway carriage was stuffy and overheated, so she cracked the window despite the noise.
