GLOUCESTER BOGIE COACH HISTORY

The Ashover Light Railway was a narrow gauge railway built in Derbyshire between Clay Cross and Ashover which opened in 1925. Whilst the line was built to transport minerals, in order to obtain its Light Railway Order it had to agree to offer a passenger service and for this, four Bogie Coaches were ordered from the Gloucester Railway Carriage & Wagon Co. Ltd. The coaches were purpose built but ran on bogies from ex-War Department Wagons that had been purchased as Army surplus. When passenger services ceased in 1936, the coaches were put into store and were later used as stands at the railway company’s sports ground. Coaches No. 1 and 2 were later sold to the Lincolnshire Coast Light Railway and No. 4 is now owned by the Golden Valley Light Railway based at the Midland Railway – Butterley. No. 3 was scrapped.
