B.10

Four-Wheel Carriage B.10

Supplied by the Metropolitan Carriage & Wagon Co., Ltd., of Saltley Works in Birmingham for the 1873 opening of the Peel Line, from 1882 this carriage was close-coupled.

This was with B.6 and in 1910 the two were mounted on a new bogie underframe to become F.63; withdrawn in 1987 and the carriage bodies restored and returned to traffic in 2023.
