Andrew Young, on the right, was born in England and emigrated to Australia in 1855. He established himself in the coach business there, and later in New Zealand (in Otago 1862 – 1868 and in Westland 1868 – 1871). In partnership with Shepard, Young gained the franchise on the Wellington – New Plymouth mail run. Shepard drowned within a few months, but Young continued the business until 1882. In the 1890s he again operated in the South Island. In 1894 he narrowly lost Wellington’s mayoralty.
