Garstang and Knott End Railway

 

 

 

 

PASSENGER BRAKE VAN

 

The Garstang and Knot-End Railway ran  between Garstang and Pilling, in the Fylde of Lancashire. In 1898 the Knott End Railway was authorised to continue to Knott End; it opened in 1908.

 

Salt extraction near Preesall became a dominant industry from 1890. The passenger service was discontinued in 1930 and the line closed completely in 1965.

 

 

 

 

For the opening of the Knott End line extension, eight bogie coaches were supplied by Birmingham Carriage and Wagon Co.

As the bogie coaches had no guards compartment they originally worked with the goods brake vans, but in 1909 2 new passenger brake vans were introduced.

One of the passenger brake vans went to Wanlockhead with the bogie composite coach, and was scrapped at the same time when line closed in 1939.
