Passenger coach services grew enormously in England and Wales between 1681 and 1836. This article documents the spatial patterns using data from trade directories, original maps and geographic information systems. Digital mapping illustrates the development of long-distance services from London to various destinations, including resorts, ports, industrial towns and county towns. Mapping also illustrates the development of Country services between provincial towns, especially major hubs like Manchester and Birmingham, and commuter traffic around large conurbations. Overall the maps and figures point to substantial change in destinations and the structure of the coach network. Country coach services increased after the 1790s to complement the London services. By 1835, an extensive, interlinked network of long-stage coaches grew across the country and a radial network of daily-return services grew on roads leading into London. Beyond coaching, our findings illustrate how traditional primary sources can yield new insights when combined with geographic information systems.

1681 年至 1836 年英格兰和威尔士教练的空间模式:地理信息系统方法

1681 年至 1836 年间,英格兰和威尔士的客车服务大幅增长。本文使用贸易目录、原始地图和地理信息系统中的数据记录了空间模式。数字地图展示了从伦敦到各个目的地的长途服务的发展,包括度假村、港口、工业城镇和县城。地图还说明了省城之间乡村服务的发展,尤其是像曼彻斯特和伯明翰这样的主要枢纽,以及大都市周围的通勤交通。总体而言,地图和数字表明目的地和长途汽车网络结构发生了重大变化。1790 年代后增加了乡村长途汽车服务以补充伦敦服务。到 1835 年,一个广泛的、长途客车的互连网络在全国范围内发展起来,并且在通往伦敦的道路上形成了辐射状的每日返程服务网络。除了指导之外,我们的研究结果还说明了传统的主要来源与地理信息系统相结合时如何产生新的见解。
