  • Bluebell Railway Education Department
    BLUEBELL RAILWAY EDUCATION DEPARTMENT 4a. The development of the railway coach 1. The earliest form of railway coach resembled the stagecoach as can be seen from the coach “Experiment” which operated on the Stockton and Darlington Railway in 1825, the UK's first public railway. 2. Some ten years later, following the opening of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway in 1830 the stagecoach resemblance can still be seen in this replica of a 1st class coach from 1834. At that time first and second class were enclosed, with first class having upholstered seats. Third class passengers (who travelled outside on a stage-coach) were only provided with benches in open wagons. Reproduced with the kind permission of the National Railway Museum Page 1 of 5 3. Dating from 1837 the following engraving shows trains on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. Firstly a passenger train of first class coaches with a Royal Mail coach and, at the rear, a private coach mounted on a truck, secondly, a train of second class coaches and, thirdly a train of third class coaches. Liverpool and Manchester Railway 1835 4. As the years went by, greater comforts were added. Third class passengers were accommodated inside the coaches, and six-wheeled coaches, giving a smoother ride than the older four-wheeled types, were introduced. 5. Heating was however primitive and, initially, passengers had to hire hot-water bottles and blankets at stations, later it was provided using steam from the engine. To improve safety, trains started to have "continuous" brakes on all coaches, controlled by the driver, rather than just a hand brake controlled by the guard, and a "communication cord" by which passengers could raise an alarm in the event of an accident or incident on the train.
