The first L&SW trains to Kingston-on-Railway (nowadays Surbiton) were
notable for having people riding on top and people riding below.

Were they double-deckers?

Don't some old pictures show passengers on top of the stage-coaches-on-rails
as used on early railways, not so much "on top" as at the ends.
There were double deck trains in Lonon in the 40s and has been
discussed on here before.
