I think Ladies Only compartments lasted right up to the end of
compartment stock.

Surely not? The last I remember were on the GN suburbans prior to
electrification in 1976. Compartments lasted after that, even if you
discount corridor stock. What about the 302 stock, for instance? Some
compartments but no ladies-only.

Some BR design 416s had non-corridor compartments up till about 1994
or 1995, but nothing about ladies.

iirc the compartment EMUs on the line out of Liverpool St in the late
60's had a Ladies-only under the pantograph.

Doesn't that make it a knickerograph?
