The coming of the stagecoach was once a major event in remote American settlements.
Stagecoach was taken to court by the local authority to be asked why the toilet had not been opened.
Stagecoach could end up with a monopoly on public transport in the region.
The companies will then either press drivers to flout the regulations, or they will have to introduce of modern version of the old stagecoach system.
It could have been just as easily used to justify retaining the stagecoach and the canals rather than developing the railways.
I suppose the classical example is the way in which the stagecoach disappeared very quickly with the advent of the railway engine.
Not only is there no destination for the stagecoach on which we are to embark, but also there is no concise timetable for that stagecoach.
The same view was taken by stagecoach operators, who eventually found, to their cost, that they were wrong.
In this connection, we should be wise to remember that the stagecoach went into the museum because a more efficient form of transport was evolved.
