Originally these coaches were designed for the local commuter trains
that covered the Catalonian coastal routes, originally known as “Coches
de la Costa” (Coastal Coaches), which was later changed to the
definitive “Costa”
Their predecessors were the Harland and St. Denis coaches, with the
former, produced by VVB (Valls-Vilanova-Barcelona), being the fist
coaches in Europe to be fitted with bogies.
These types of coaches remained in service up until 1971, when the
Spanish railway company finally decided to get rid of the last of their
wooden coaches.
