Carriages

Please note that for the purposes of this page, 'In service' is a general term indicating that the coaches are not undergoing major repair and are normally available for service. Not all types of coaches operate during normal service days, some may only operate on special events.

Thanks go to Nigel Scarlett for providing this information.

BR Mark 1 Coaches

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

Copyright Richard Edwards

 

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.

LNER Mainline Coaches

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

Copyright Coral Gillespie

 

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.
