Concord

The section about the Concord coach is almost word for word from this site: http://www.linecamp.com/museums/americanwest/western_clubs/abbott_downing_company/abbott_downing_company.html

Usage

The article seems to have omitted the basic principle of a stage coach - the journey was carried out in stages, the horses being replaced with new (rested) ones at the Inns that the coaches stopped at. This was one of the reasons why in England an inn (as opposed to a public house) was required by law to provide fodder and stabling for horses, as well as offer overnight accommodation for any passengers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.112.68.219 (talk) 09:32, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

Stagecoaches in Britain

As well as needing a citation for the earliest use of this type of conveyance (already noted on the section), I think more is needed about the latest use. I find it extremely hard to believe that there were such vehicles still in regular use at the beginning of the 20th century, as stated. As in Continental Europe, and possibly unlike the situation in North America, the establishment and expansion of the railway network surely put paid to stagecoaches much earlier than that.
