	The Romance of the L.N.E.R.
		During the latter half of 1829 an extension of the railway from Stockton to an obscure village known as Middlesbrough, situated near the mouth of the River Tees, was proposed.
		In the north of England most of the plans were from west to east, from the mineral districts towards the sea, and it was some years before projects for lines running north and south were more than matters of speculation.
		It was from the Manchester district that the remaining partner in the romance of the London and North-Eastern Railway emanated.

	London and North Eastern Railway - UK Railways - a Wikia wiki
		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.
		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.
		He was a North Eastern man, and it has been suggested that his dislike stemmed partly from Gresley's rejection of the work of Vincent Raven.

	Frank Pick / Designing Modern Britain - Design Museum : Design Patron (1878-1941) - Design/Designer Information
		As head of the London Underground in the 1910s and 1920s and of the newly merged London Transport in the 1930s, FRANK PICK (1878-1941) was instrumental in establishing the world’s most progressive public transport system and an exemplar of design management.
		As so many Londoners had no choice but to use the Underground to get to work, Pick realised that the easiest way to increase passenger traffic was to persuade them to use it in their leisure time for day trips and weekend jaunts to parks, museums, cinemas, suburban beauty spots and historic houses.
		Determined that every element of London Transport’s activities should be designed – and maintained – to the highest possible standard, Pick insisted that even apparently minor fixtures were specially made for the new network, including the fabrics to upholster the seats of its buses and trains.

	The Amalgamation of Victorian Railways; or What Followed the Railway Mania
		The Great Eastern Railway began as the Eastern Counties Railway, a motley collection of many small railways in East Anglia, of which the Northern and Eastern was the most important, for it extended the scope of the railway towards Cambridge.
		Thus, the London and North Western Railway was created in 1846 when the London and Birmingham Railway and the Grand Junction Railway joined the Manchester and Birmingham Railway.
		Although amalgamation was the rule, some lines, like the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, remained independent from 1838, the year it opened, until the second decade of the twentieth century, when it mereged with the the London and North Western Railway.

		The rise and fall of the docklands railway in London.
		In 1923, Britain's railways were merged into four main groups, with the GER becoming swallowed up by the London and North Eastern Railway.

	Operating Sessions at Milldale
		Milldale represents an industrial town on the Midland and North-Eastern lines north of Leeds. Operations take place in the heyday of steam, the 1930’s, and therefore the trains are predominantly LMS (London Midland and Scottish Railway) and LNER (London and North Eastern Railway), but there are often visitors from other areas and time periods.
		As with most model railways, Milldale is under a continuous state of development (and will probably never be finished!). Work on the layout began in late 1996 and by mid 1998 most of the trackwork and some of the scenery was complete and operating sessions were started.
		The two warehouses have direct access from the railway siding in the front of them, and vehicle access from the other side. The other sidings are for wagons waiting to be loaded or unloaded, and for sorting of wagons bound for different designations.

	NRM \| Online Exhibitions \| The Railway Poster in Britain
		In the London and North Eastern Railway, relations between the constituent companies were generally amicable and the new company soon got into its stride.
		The LNER used slogans to provide a constant reminder to passengers about its major routes: 'King's Cross for Scotland' and 'Harwich for the Continent' were to appear frequently on posters and other publicity material.
		Rivalry was pursued between the LMS and LNER during the 1920's and 1930's.

	British Rail - Wikinfo
		The British Railways Board was created in the early 1960s, taking over from the former British Transport Commission which, in addition to the railway, was also responsible for the waterways (canals) and road freight transport.
		Between the mid-1960s and mid-1970s the size of the British rail network was reduced from around 20,000 miles to 12,000 miles as a result of the "Beeching Axe", the cost-cutting review conducted by BR Chairman Dr Richard Beeching.
		When the Labour Government gained office in May 1997, it charged BR with providing advice on railway policy, in particular to improve public control and accountability, and to identify ways in which the railway can serve modern transport needs and be integrated with other modes.

		Built by the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) in 1937, this A4 Pacific's original color was blue and it bore the name Sparrowhawk.

		With the nationalization of the British railway system in 1948, Dwight D. Eisenhower took on its new green livery and number (No. 60008) but continued to carry passengers over express routes until its retirement in 1963.

		Some railway companies designed their own signal boxes, whilst others used signalling contractor's architecture.
		My interest in railway signalling started in the 1960's when, as a short-trousered trainspotter, I was asked into Oakleigh Park signal box by the signalman.
		Immediately I found signal boxes more interesting than engines, and with the end of steam trains in 1968 my interests swung totally towards the fascinating world of signal boxes and their equipment.

	London's Abandoned Tube Stations
		There are other stations on London Underground that have been abandoned but due to a lack of substantive remains or photographic evidence available, they are not featured on this website:
		It was originally just a means of doing something constructive with a box of old tube photos re-discovered during a clean out.
		They and many other books of historical interest are available from the bookshop at the London Transport Museum in Covent Garden, which should be the first port of call for anyone wanting further information about London's abandoned stations.
