L & Y No.1 Directors saloon

Great Western 5600 5643 in charge 

This carriage was built in 1906 for the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway's Directors, to allow them to travel parts of the system in very comfortable surroundings to allow them to inspect the route.

It was rebuilt by both the LMS and BR, but has been restored by Stephen Middleton to its original condition. Some splendid views can be had though the large windows of the line's scenery and of the locomotive pulling the train.

For 2014, this carriage will be attached to most normal service trains on operating days, allowing passengers to experience the luxury and views it affords.

It has also visited the NRM at York where it has been a popular exhibit, and also featured in the Stage Production of 'The Railway Children' as the Old Gentleman's Coach.

So take a luxury ride
