A July 1914 Public Time Table for 'Motor Cars' journeys between Birmingham Snow Hill to Stratford on Avon and return. The term 'Motor Cars' referred to self-propelled carriages which incorporated a steam locomotive within the body of the carriage (see 'gwrel2865' for an example seen at Earlswood Lakes Station). They were operated by the GWR in very rural lightly loaded lines across England and Wales from 1903 to 1935. When production ceased in 1908 the class totalled ninety-nine carriages with one hundred and twelve power units which could be changed between carriages to suit maintenance needs.
