History of passenger luggage vans |
Passenger luggage vans were used for the carriage of parcels, newspapers, and many other forms of general merchandise. They were rated to run in passenger trains, and were frequently used as extra luggage vans on longer distance trains. The GBL series of vans was built as new bodies on old LSWR underframes. |
