	British Rail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		British Railways (BR), later rebranded as British Rail, ran the British railway system from the nationalisation of the 'Big Four' British railway companies in 1948 until its privatisation in stages between 1994 and 1997.
		British Railways came into existence on 1 January 1948 with the merger of the Big Four, under the control of the Railway Executive of the British Transport Commission (BTC).
		Also during this time, yellow warning panels, characteristic of British railways, were added to the front of diesel and electric locomotives and multiple units in order to increase the safety of track workers.

	London and North Eastern Railway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The London and North Eastern Railway or LNER was the second-largest of the "Big Four" railway companies created by the Railways Act 1921 in Britain.
		It formed the new British Railways' Eastern Region, North Eastern Region and partially the Scottish Region.
		The public face of a railway system was and is in large part the locomotives and rolling stock in service upon it, and therefore the personalities of the Chief Mechanical Engineers of the LNER impressed their distinctive visions upon the railway.

		Formed in 1956 from the Eastern Region and with its headquarters at York, the North Eastern Region was one of outstanding contrasts.

		This was also the very birthplace of public railways, and the Stockton and Darlington Railway is just one of the region's many historic lines.
