-
Diagram 186 - Tourist Third open - Built between 1934 and 1938 in 10 different lots these open coaches were used on express services on the east coast as well as excursion services in the summer to holiday destinations across the East of the UK. They were originally fitted with special 'bucket' style seats but when taken over by BR more standard seating bays were fitted.
-
Diagram 115 - Third Corridor - Built between 1930 and 1939 in 13 lots, these were the standard 3rd class coach for non-suburban work on the LNER. They comprised of 8 compartments with a corridor connecting them and doors from each compartment to the outside giving the look of a suburban coach to one side.
-

Prototype Information
|
|
Following the creation of the 'Big 4' railway operating companies in 1923, the London and North Eastern Railway inherited a wide variety of different types of coaches built in the early years of the 20th century to the needs of the companies that existed at the time. No standardisation existed and a lot of the designs used technology that was, by then, well out of date. In 1923 the CME of the LNER, Sir Nigel Gresley, decided that a standard design of coach that was suitable for both the express trains of the East Coast and the slower regional services around the other areas of the LNER and beyond was required. The result was the now famous Gresley Teak coach with its instantly recognisable varnished teak finish and 60ft underframe. They were built from 1923 until the 1940s and most diagrams remained unchanged throughout, with new innovations being incorporated into new diagrams rather than added to existing ones. Many different coach types were created for different purposes including 38 different types of passenger brake coach alone!
