saloon car
without more context, this has to be a guess - educated or otherwise!
We don't even know if - as I have assumed - that these do in fact refer to open or closed types of railway carriage.
Confirmation or further context would be helpful!

Many thanks!
Alternatives could be "saloon carriage" or even "saloon coach", although I don't believe other passengers can walk through these.... I'm thinking back to the days of good old British Rail dining cars, etc, which you could walk through... These would be contrasted with the cabins with connected corridor that I think you might be referring to.
However, there is no problem at all regarding the "Englishness" of the term, as Mark seems to imply! This is all perfectly "UK English" and is old as some of the trains themselves!
