GWR Route: North Warwickshire Line
GWR Route: Hatton to Stratford on Avon
Wilmcote Station: gwrwil3868
A July 1914 Public Time Table for 'Motor Cars' journeys
between Birmingham Snow Hill to Stratford on Avon and return. The term 'Motor
Cars' referred to self-propelled carriages which incorporated a steam
locomotive within the body of the carriage (see 'gwrel2865' for an example seen at Earlswood Lakes
Station). They were operated by the GWR in very rural lightly loaded lines
across England and Wales from 1903 to 1935. When production ceased in 1908 the
class totalled ninety-nine carriages with one hundred and twelve power units
which could be changed between carriages to suit maintenance needs.
