In Great Britain, Ireland, and Australia, a mail coach was a stagecoach built to a General Post Office-approved design operated by an independent contractor to carry long-distance mail for the Post Office. Mail was held in a box at the rear where the only Royal Mail employee, an armed guard, stood. Passengers were taken at a premium fare. There was seating for four passengers inside and more outside with the driver. The guard's seat could not be shared. This distribution system began in Britain in 1784. In Ireland the same service began in 1789, and in Australia it began in 1828. A mail coach service ran to an exact and demanding schedule. Aside from quick changes of horses the coach only stopped for collection and delivery of mail and never for the comfort of the passengers. To avoid a steep fine turnpike gates had to be open by the time the mail coach with its right of free passage passed through. The gatekeeper was warned by the sound of the posthorn. Mail coaches were slowly phased out during the 1840s and 1850s, their role eventually replaced by trains as the railway network expanded.

Le mot « mail », qui désigne aujourd'hui en anglais le courrier en général, vient d'ailleurs du français « malle », coffre de voyage et, en l'occurrence, coffre destiné au courrier.

Vagnen var i bruk från slutet av 1700-talet men ersattes under slutet av 1800-talet av tåg och lokdragna postvagnar. (sv) 邮件马车（Mail coach）是英国邮政业曾经使用的一种驿站马车。马车负责运送皇家邮政的邮件，马车上有皇家邮政的雇员负责保护邮件，他们通常站在马车后部。马车前部则有四个旅客座位，旅客在交过钱后可以搭乘马车旅行。但除了换马、收发邮件时马车会短暂停留外，其他时候一般不会为了乘客的私人原因停车。 这一邮寄模式始于1784年，1789年爱尔兰也开始有了邮件马车。到19世纪中期，随着铁路列车的出现，邮件马车逐渐消失。 (zh) |
