I'm pretty sure the oldest stock I've ever travelled in on the national network would be MK1s. I know the odd LNER buffet made it in to the blue and grey era but I don't remember seeing any.
I was wondering what was the earliest stock people had travelled in on mainline trains?
I suppose I'm quite interested in some of the older members memories but actually anything goes. There were still some big four mail vans around in the early 80s that I dimly recall seeing, but what were some of the older designs like the Gresley Teaks or GWR Hawksworths like on a long journey?
Thanks in advance for any info.
