Non Passenger Carrying Coaching Stock (NPCCS) comprised goods vans and similar vehicles which were equipped to be included in passenger services. Typically, this would require:
- Suspension suitable for working at higher speeds
- A longer wheelbase and larger wheels than comparable 'goods' rated stock
- Continuous brakes
- Through steam-heating pipe
NPCCS was normally used for 'premium' type goods which required fast delivery. These included:
- Coaches dedicated wholly to guard's use plus passenger luggage
- Parcels and mails
- Perishable goods, including fruit and dairy products
- Motor-cars carried for individuals, rather than 'trade'.
- Horses and other categories of livestock
GWRGreat Western Railway NPCCS vehicles were normally painted plain brown rather than the normal 'chocolate and cream' and were thus known as "brown vehicles".[1]
Classes of NPCCS found on the SVRSevern Valley Railway include:
- BG / BGP / BGZ: Brake Gangwayed coach (also known as a Full Brake) having a guard's compartment in the centre and two large areas either side for storing luggage or other goods. The suffix P indicated a Pigeon Van. The suffix Z indicates a 6-wheeled vehicle.
- POS: Post Office Sorting Van (also known as a Travelling Post Office or 'TPOTravelling Post Office')
