Familiar features of railway operation. VI. Slip coach
services. G.W.T. Daniel. 13-16.
Begins with the eccentric services of the London &
Blackwall Railway where coaches were slipped off the cable to serve the
intermediate stations between 1840 and 1849. The LBSCR was the first to slip
coaches on a mainline railway at Haywards Heath. This is described in Herepath's
Railway and Commercial Journal on 11 December 1858. The service may have
been as early as February 1858. A table shows the rise and decline of such
services. The GWR was the major operator of such services and included (for
a time) such eccentricities as slipping coaches at West London Junction for
Victoria and just outside Paddington to slip a vehicle for the mainline plaforms
whilst the main train ran forward for the City. The GCR ran trains non-stop
to Sheffield and slipped a portion for Nottingham at Leicester. The Ravenglass
& Eskdale Railway slipped coaches at Irton Road and the LNWR introduced
vestibuled slip coaches.
