    One assumes that the Railcar 'ran round' the autocoach at both ends of the journey.

    I believe these were diesel-mechanical with a fluid flywheel. Certainly not diesel electric.

    Yes. There was certainly space to do that at Lambourn and Newbury. Incidentally, there's a photo somewhere of a railcar at Lambourn with both an autocoach and a clerestory coach as the tail load.

    Yes, I had the feeling the feeling as I typed it that it was wrong, but I couldn't think why.

    I had a look for that photo out of curiosity and you can find it here. Interestingly, there’s also one of the railcar pulling a set of horse boxes.
