	London, Brighton and South Coast Railway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		From 1 January 1923, the company's lines were grouped along with those of the London and South Western Railway and the South Eastern and Chatham Railway to form the Southern Railway.
		That system was to be short-lived, however, since the London and South Western Railway had adopted the third-rail system; and after grouping their mileage far exceeded that of the LBandSCR.

		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.
		Most of the area immediately south of London was converted, together with the lines to Brighton, Eastbourne and Portsmouth.

	London and South Western Railway Luggage Labels Isle of White
		As ever, within our generic hobby of railway interests, the Isle of Wight is being viewed and treated as a special case and with good reason where luggage labels are concerned.
		It should be borne in mind that both the LSWR and LBSCR had vested interests in the Island mainly in the form of trafficking tourists between there and the mainland.
		This text isn't being presented as a potted railway history but it is worth mentioning that both railways had early aspirations to access the island via Portsmouth and Ryde even though the facilities at the the latter were hopelessy inadequate.

		Many railway books present a picture of the past, but Scottish Railways is relatively unusual in that its past is now long departed, and much of the then present, like the sheep and fish traffic, has also disappeared.

		The Bodmin and Wadebridge Railway was built at a cost of £35,000 following a study commissioned in 1831 by local landowner Sir William Molesworth of Pencarr6w.

		Until the Cornwall Railway main line was converted from Brunel's broad gauge to the narrower "standard gauge in 1892, passengers and goods were transferred between trains at Bodmin Road.
