BR Mk1 coaching stock
British Railways Mark 1 was the family
designation for the first standardised designs of railway carriages built by
British Railways. Following nationalisation in 1948, BR had continued to build
carriages to the designs of the "Big Four" companies (the Great Western,
Southern, London Midland and Scottish and London and North Eastern railways),
and the Mark 1 was intended to be the standard carriage design for use across
all lines, incorporating the best features of each of the former companies'
designs. It was also designed to be much stronger than previous designs, to
provide better protection for passengers in the event of an accident. The Mk 1 coaches were built in two distinct tranches: the early vehicles (1951–60) and the 'Commonwealth' stock (named from the type of bogie used) from 1961 onwards. |
