Most noticeable of all, perhaps, was the plucky effort made in 1837 to revive the favourite "Red Rover" coach between London and Manchester, which had been discontinued upon the opening of the London and Birmingham and the Grand Junction Railways. It was "the last charge of the Old Guard," and shared the same fate. It may be interesting, however, to append a copy of this singular notice--one more evidence of the reluctance of Englishmen to be beaten, even at long odds. The very date at foot is significant, for the enterprise was embarked on in the teeth of the approaching winter. THE RED ROVER REËSTABLISHED THROUGHOUT TO MANCHESTER. Bull and Mouth Inn. It is with much satisfaction that the Proprietors of the RED ROVER oach are enabled to announce its REËSTABLISHMENT as a direct conveyance THROUGHOUT BETWEEN LONDON AND MANCHESTER, and that the arrangements will be the same as those which before obtained for it such entire and general approval. In this effort the Proprietors anxiously hope that the public will recognize and appreciate the desire to supply an accommodation which will require and deserve the patronage and support of the large and busy community on that line of road. The RED ROVER will start every evening, at a quarter before seven, by way of COVENTRY STAFFORD MACCLESFIELD BIRMINGHAM NEWCASTLE-UNDER-LYNE AND WALSALL CONGLETON STOCKPORT and perform the journey _in the time which before gave such general satisfaction_. [Symbol: Pointing hand] It will also start from the "Moseley Arms" Hotel, MANCHESTER, for LONDON, every evening, at nine o'clock. EDWARD SHERMAN ) _Joint_ JOHN WEATHERALD and Co. ) _Proprietors_. _LONDON_, _October 28, 1837_. An old song may come in here:-- "The road, the road, the turnpike road, The hard, the brown, the smooth, the broad, Without a mark, without a bend, Horses 'gainst horses on it contend. Men laugh at the gates, they bilk the tolls, Or stop and pay like honest souls. I'm on the road, I'm on the road, I'm never so blithe as when abroad With the hills above and the vales below, And merry wheresoe'er I go. If the Opposition appear in sight, What matter, what matter, we'll set that all right." In the introduction I ventured to point out some inaccuracies which I had observed in a statement made upon the subject of coach fares, and as it is probably one which few remember anything about, I give a statement of what would be about the profit and loss of a month's working of a coach for a hundred miles.
