nothing, really. Just 2 words for the same thing. I'd say that "carraige" would be used more in Europe, while "coach" is probably more North-American. I'd also say that "carraige" is an older word & was used more in the old days.

Carriage is the older term but Coach as in Empty Coaching Stock has been around for at least 100 years whilst Car seems to reate to electrified lines in UK, all terms interchangable and the term Truck, as in Cattle truck is gaining in popularity at present.

There is no differance, it just that differant people call it a differant thing & it dates back to when the railways first started when the carrage/stage coach was adapted to run on rails and be pulled by a steam engine
