Working of Four and Six-wheeled Vehicles on G.C. Passenger Trains.
General Rule 165.
Six-wheeled vehicles (other than six-wheeled first class saloons) and fourwheeled
Passenger Coaches must not be run on any of the express trains
in the London and Manchester or Bradford through services.
The six-wheeled first class saloons must not be run in these services unless
the sanction of their District Traffic Manager or District Superintendent
has first been obtained.
Six-wheeled passenger coaches and four-wheeled horse boxes and carriage
trucks may be attached to the G.C. Co.'s trains working to and from this
Company's system, but such vehicles must be marshalled together, either
in front or rear, and not intermixed with bogie stock ; this must also
apply to N.E. trains working between Hull and Sheffield G.C.
Attaching of Four and Six-wheeled Vehicles to GM. Empty

When bogie stock is run on Empty G.N. Coaching stock trains it must
be in front of vehicles with six or four wheels respectively.
PASSENGER COMPARTMENTS NEXT ENGINE.
General Rule 165.
When a passenger carriage is the next vehicle to the engine on express
trains, the compartment nearest the engine must as far as practicable be
locked, and passengers prevented from travelling in it. This rule does not
apply if there is a luggage compartment between the passenger compartment
and the engine, nor does it apply in the case of corridor stock where there
is a lavatory or a passage between the end of the vehicle and the leading
compartment.
It is not necessary' to prevent passengers travelling in the compartment
nearest the engine in the case of ordinary passenger trains, or trains made
up of an engine and one vehicle only, or an autocar train. ( 0 . 1901).
PASSENGER COMPARTMENTS NEXT ENGINE ON TRAINS
FROM N.E. TO G.N. LINE.
General Rule 165.
Trains working to the G.N. line may have ordinary passenger vehicles
attached next the engine provided the two front compartments are locked
up. In the event of a saloon or corridor vehicle being attached to the front
of the train a van must in every case be attached between such vehicle and
the engine.
When stations north of York attach a vehicle for the G.N. line so that
it will be between the front van and the engine, on leaving York, that
station must, in wiring York, give a description of the vehicle so that the
staff may know whether to be prepared with a van.
EMMY VEHICLE IN FRONT OF L. & N.W. PASSENGER TRAINS WHERE
OCCUPIED VEHICLES ARE NEXT THE ENGINE.
General Rule 165.
Where saloons are attached next the engine of trains from this Company's
line to the L. & N.W. line, and no dummy vehicle is provided, a wire must
be despatched to the Stationmaster at Leeds informing him of this in order
that arrangements can be made for a dummy vehicle to be attached between
the engine and the saloon at Leeds. ( O . 5812).
