Don't forget, a lot of people from the "Ladies only" era of
compartment stock, wrongly called compartments carriages.


Only a few types of stock had Ladies-only compartments, of course.


Pretty much all the suburban and outer suburban stock on the Liverpool
St line in the 60's/70's had compartments, and these trains also had
"women only" compartments.

As a schoolboy I was chucked out of one by platform staff, despite being
the only occupant.
