A delightful collection of stories and reminiscences of coaching in the 19th century, when journeys of only a few miles might take all day and much of the night. From the passengers anxious to make an appointment, to the outriders and guards whose job it was to make the journey a success, Dirom Cuming and Armour paint a lively picture of what travel was like before the railways took over.
