Fascinating reading the notes for the 1865 Monmouthshire Railway and Canal Company timetable for the Eastern Valleys (which ran from Newport through Pontypool to Blaenavon).

For example if there is no brake (break) van the guard is required to travel on the last truck. A second guard, if present, would then ride on the middle truck! Wonder what the Health and Safety Executive would make of that today!
