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
