Description
Without a London terminus the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway was sometimes considered a largely provincial and therefore, unimportant company. Nothing could be further from the truth. Among the old companies it rated twelfth in route mileage, but fifth in locos owned which reflects the volume of traffic it handled.
This package contains a set of nine different L&Y coaches, both corridor and non-corridor, all built at the company’s Newton Heath works during the early years of the twentieth century. These coaches continued in service during LMS days and most lasted until the fifties. After the LMS was formed trains of exclusively L&Y stock began to disappear, as ex-LNWR and MR coaches were transferred to the former L&Y lines and ex-L&Y coaches were moved away. However, L&Y coaches would continue to serve and could be seen all across the LMS system.
