Top right image
[edit]@Ww2censor: Would something ilke this fit? In order of my personal preference and the mystery at the end
-
William IV
-
nice and clear (as thumbnail too)
-
ordinary
-
end of the line
-
better elsewhere on the page?
-
See mark V (crown) R and 1200 - signifying what?
-
A black and maroon (er 'claret') car with (miniature) insignia to match And scarlet trim
OED, maroon, adjective, meaning 3.a: A brownish-crimson or claret colour. first used 1779

- File:The Edinburgh and London Royal Mail by John Frederick Herring, Sr.jpg is probably the best as it shows a coach in action, while the first on is rather sterile. The image you added just looks so over coloured but I'm not going to object furiously if you would like to keep that one. You might be able to use both William IV and as you suggest File:James Pollard - North Country Mails at the Peacock, Islington - Google Art Project.jpg elsewhere in the article.

- In the drawing of the yellow coach above does the insignia mean the coach operator is licensed to carry mail within a restricted zone or something like that? I think I mean - do you know what it indicates? Eddaido (talk) 03:26, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
