BR Mark 1 Coaches

These standard coaches form the majority of the passenger trains on the NNR throughout the year.

British Railways designed and built coaches to a standard design. These 'Mark 1s' eventually formed the mainstay of BR's coaching stock and there are many examples of the various types of coaches in preservation.

Each coach has its own number to enable it to be identified for maintenance and service allocation. Each BR Region was allocated its own stock which was denoted by the letter ahead of the number:
W- Western, E- Eastern, M- Midland, S- Southern, Sc- Scottish, and for a short while the GE- Great Eastern section was valid, until absorbed into the Eastern region.

Mark 1 Coaches on the NNR:

BR Suburban Coaches

These non-corridor coaches are used in Galas and other Special Events.

Pullman Coaches

These dining coaches are stored pending restoration.

LNER Mainline Coaches

These wooden-bodied coaches will eventually form a complete train.

Pre-nationalised stock from the LNER, LMS, SR and GWR had a suffix letter similar to that of the Mark 1s. The letter before the number shows the allocation and the letter after the number shows where it was built.
