In BR 1970s Coaching Stock the author, Hugh Longworth, sets out to give us a better understanding of the different coach layouts and coach types. He captures the feel of seventies coach spotting days: the mundane and the unusual; the common and the unique. How did the numbering system work? Why were there different types of bogies? What were all the non-passenger vehicles for, and why were they not counted as freight wagons?
The photographs of G H Taylor and Trevor Davis, taken from the Transport Treasury photographic archive, are all accompanied by an informative caption, together with a scale drawing showing the layout of each coach type.
