	London, Brighton and South Coast Railway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The London, Brighton and South Coast Railway (LBandSCR) (commonly known as "the Brighton line") was a railway company in the United Kingdom from 1846 to 1923.
		It was bounded on its western side by the lines of the London and South Western Railway; on its eastern by the South Eastern and Chatham Railway.
		Electrification of the Brighton line was completed on 1 January 1933, by which time the LBandSCR was, of course, part of the Southern Railway; and a year later "The Southern Belle" was renamed "The Brighton Belle".

	Signal Boxes of the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway
		The London, Brighton and South Coast Railway had primitive interlocking between signals at some junctions by 1844, but it wasn't until 1856 that interlocking with the points was added, a feature invented by a young John Saxby who was merely a carpenter for the company at that time.
		A deal to also supply the London and North Western Railway led him (and another employee, John Farmer) to set their own company in 1862 which was to become what was probably the most successful of all the signalling contractors.
		The London, Brighton and South Coast Railway became part of the Southern Railway with the grouping of 1923.

	Southern Railway (UK) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		In the area south and east of London the Southern Railway was a virtual monopoly, while its lines to the South-West were largely in competition with the Great Western Railway.
		Unlike the three other railway systems remaining after Grouping (the London, Midland and Scottish Railway, the London and North Eastern Railway and the Great Western), the Southern Railway was a predominantly passenger-oriented railway.
		The two schemes were incompatible, with the Brighton going for a 6600 Volt overhead system very similar to that used by the Midland Railway for their Lancaster to Morecambe trial section.

	London and South Western Railway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Its ultimate network extended from London to Plymouth via Yeovil, Exeter and Okehampton with branches to Barnstaple and Wadebridge - a territory in which it was in direct competition with the Great Western Railway - and, via Basingstoke, Winchester and Southampton, along the Dorset coast to Bournemouth and Weymouth.
		Parliament rejected the scheme and it was re-promoted as the London and Southampton Railway: it was authorised by Act of Parliament in 1834.
		This subsequently became the standard for the entire Southern Railway, almost certainly because of the influence of Sir Herbert Ashcombe Walker, who had come from the London and North Western Railway to be General Manager of the LSWR in 1912; in 1914 he had also been appointed as Chairman of the wartime Railway Executive Committee.

	London Brighton and South Coast Railway Luggage Labels Overview
		The Brighton made more use of station to station labels than any other railway in addition to which some determined collectors appropriated vast quantities of LBSCR labels during the 1950s and 60s when they were still, theoretically, in daily use.
		LBSCR labels always carried the full company title as their heading and not even the word 'Railway' was abbreviated as was the case with so many other railways.
		The Brighton was also heavily involved in cross-channel operations and several examples survive of labels from Victoria to French destinations.

		All the southern companies were primarily concerned with their intensive passenger services but the LBSC served the ports of Newhaven and Littlehampton where, from the 1860's, regular steamer services were maintained to the Continent, Newhaven was served by a grande vitesse goods train.

		These are the earliest type of LBSCR luggage label which the Railway Print Society handbook (RPS1 ©) designates as L41 (fl print) and L42 (red print).
		These are the only Brighton labels that have, in some instances, the company title split into two lines of text.
		There is also reference to a destination on another railway in the form of Romsey but such references appear to relate mainly to the LSWR - with whom the LBSCR had a long and successful relationship - plus the occasional mention of Cowes and Ryde.

	The South Eastern & Chatham Railway - A Potted History
		January 1899 the South Eastern and Chatham Companies’ Managing Committee (better known as the SEandCR) was formed by the union of the South Eastern Railway (SER) and the London, Chatham and Dover Railway (LCDR).
		The railway, always short of capital was then forced, by SER obstruction to extend first to Dover (1861) and then to London Victoria in 1862; the railway’s name being changed to the London Chatham and Dover Railway in 1859.
		By the end of the war the South Eastern and Chatham Railway, which had had carried more than its fair share of the war effort, was in a good position for further development and reconstruction.

	BRH: First Stop Buggleskelly
		It may come as a surprise, then, to learn that the railway which linked the two towns was at first considered significant enough to warrant the President of the Board of Trade personally performing the ceremony of turning the first sod, and later became the centre of a controversy carried all the way to Parliament.
		The great virtue in the Light Railways Act was that it allowed small railways to be built cheaply, and thus helped the economic case for their construction (which was by the 1890's one of the criteria considered by Parliament when deciding whether or not a line should be built).
		There were some economies in the reopened version of the railway, notably in the failure to reinstate the passing loop at Herriard, which immediately reduced the track capacity, and meant that the service returned to its original three return trip daily pattern.

		Someone in the LBSCR's administration department must have finally realised that the production and maintenance of a label regime which required a different set of labels for each and every station on the system was a time consuming and expensive overhead.
		All the green labels are to LBSCR destinations only with the obvious exception of the Victoria blank label illustrated.
		It is generally accepted that the olive green type was the final fling for LBSCR luggage labels and yet it is the poorer quality lighter green siblings that were perpetuated into Southern Railway days if only for a very short time.

		The British railway system had been built up by more than one hundred railway companies, large and small, and often, particularly locally, in competition with each other.
		The parallel railways of the East Midlands, and the “war” between the South Eastern Railway and the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway at Hastings were particular examples of the wastage caused by such local competition.
		Complete nationalisation had been considered, and this 1921 Act is sometimes considered as a precursor to that, but was rejected: nationalisation was subsequently carried out after World War II under the Transport Act 1947.
