RMweb Premium great northern Posted February 6, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 6, 2021 Quad Arts 8, the rest nowhere. I wonder if those who travelled on them on a regular basis would have agreed though? Today, post grouping ordinary corridor stock, not special/streamlined cars. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium St Enodoc Posted February 6, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 6, 2021 Gilbert, I'll assume that you mean post-grouping but pre-nationalisation, in which case I nominate the GWR Centenary stock. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn’t specify best for customer comfort. If you had I might have gone for the GNR royal saloons! I was marking the quads parts on their fitness for the role intended. As a design to cram a lot of seats into the very short length available (imposed by the platform length constraints at Moorgate) they were fantastic. They also did so with a very modest weight per seat. For this poll, I think I’ll skip over the obvious Gresley corridor stock and go for the Thompsons. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LNER4479 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) Well I'm going to go straight down the middle and vote for classic Gresley teak stock. Difficult to define any sort of period for that as it was under continuous development from pre-WW1 GNR days. But, given the wonderful variety of such stock that we can call on for Grantham - largely the work of Jonathan Wealleans and Roy Mears, including several articulated examples - it gets my vote today.

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted February 6, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 6, 2021 You are all barking up the wrong tree.

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted February 6, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 6, 2021 Era is everything here. Maunsells looked and were rather good in the mid-20s when they first appeared, but were wholly out of date by 1945 when they still made up most of Southern's coach fleet. But Bulleid's ideas about coaching stock were equally a la mode when built, and seem to have influenced Mark 1 BR stock too. So Bulleid it is. Just a quick phone-pic. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
