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.

  • Le mail coach est une voiture hippomobile, tirée par quatre chevaux, qui était destinée au transport du courrier en Grande-Bretagne. C'est l'équivalent de la malle-poste française. 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. (fr)
  • 郵便馬車（ゆうびんばしゃ）は、馬車による郵便輸送、および、その郵便輸送に使用された馬車を指す。欧州では郵便と共に一般乗客も乗せて運んだ、長距離移動用途の馬車の一種でもあった。 (ja)
  • Mail Coach var en fyrhjulig hästdragen vagn, avsedd för att leverera post över hela Storbritannien. 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)
