	L.M.S. History - 1935
		In 1858 Parliament sanctioned the absorption of the Chester and Holyhead Railway.
		The nucleus of the Midland Railway system owes much to William Hudson, the "railway king." He was the first to realise, and to put into practice, the idea that railways could best be worked as large-scale undertakings; and that amalgamation, which would yield centralised ownership and management, was therefore necessary.
		But the Scottish companies objected on the ground that the small population of the country and the relative lack of industrial development would impose a financial handicap on such a group, and that they therefore preferred to be associated with the English companies.

	Signal Boxes of the London, Midland & Scottish Railway
		The LMS was the only company to adopt the Railway Executive Committee's 1921 approved design of lever frame - not an entirely surprising decision as it was a direct development of the Midland Railway's design.
		The last Midland pattern boxes, built during 1928 and 1929, reverted to the larger window panes of the Midland's 1908 style, but differed from these through the omission of finials.
		The LMS was split between the London Midland and Scottish Regions of British Railways in 1948.

	Institute of Railway Studies: Industrial research on the LMS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Technical change on the railways had historically tended to be the result of insights made by engineers with extensive practical experience of the limitations of existing technologies.
		Overall, the railway's investment in technical research produced rather mixed results, both technically and financially, but there can be little doubt that its fairly modest expenditure on research was more than covered by the savings to be had from just one or two of the more important inquiries.
		Clearly with Britain's railway companies, either no such competition existed - the case of the manufacture of railway equipment - or it did so in such a restricted fashion - the case of the provision of railway services - so as to be quite inadequate as a guide to the overall performance of the firm.
