Ex Metropolitan Railway 8 wheel Coaches
When the Metropolitan Railway required coaches , having fallen out with the GWR, it introduced its own very similar 8 wheel(non bogie) coaches. The first 92 had square topped doors, but after that doors were
round topped.
With modernisation into the 20th century, some of these 8 wheelers were
extensively rebuilt into bogie coaches, and most of the rest had minor modifications . However many were sold off , including a batch to a French railway, which actually ran up till 1964, and some to the Isle of Wight Railway.
In France they were used on the Bordeaux-Lacanau- Lacanau Ocean and the Lacanau-Facture lines(
S.E - Reseau des Landes de Gironde).
