1930s 1935 Carriage Coach Corridor Compartments
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR takes us back to a bygone era, specifically 1935. The image showcases a third-class corridor carriage, offering us a glimpse into the world of train travel during that time. As we peer down the corridor, we are struck by its simplicity and functionality. The carriage is divided into compartments, each accessible through sliding doors along the corridor. These compartments provided passengers with privacy and comfort during their journey. A sign on one of the windows catches our attention; it boldly declares that smoking was permitted within this particular carriage. This detail reminds us of an era when smoking was more widely accepted in public spaces. Built to diagram C67, this coach represents both innovation and tradition in railway design. Its construction reflects the meticulous craftsmanship characteristic of Great Western Railway carriages from that period. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost imagine ourselves stepping into this very compartment and experiencing what train travel was like for those who rode these rails over eight decades ago. It serves as a reminder of how far transportation has come since then while also evoking nostalgia for simpler times when journeys were cherished experiences filled with anticipation and wonderment.
