	Signal Boxes of the North London Railway
		The North London Railway was a pioneer as far as signalling was concerned.
		The North London's boxes of the period up to 1879 had hipped roofs, although details seem to have varied.
		The London and North Western Railway managed the North London after 1909, and the few new boxes after that date were built to their designs.

	London and North Western Railway
		The London and North Western Railway (LNWR) was formed in 1846 by the merger of the Grand Junction Railway, the London & Birmingham and the Manchester & Birmingham[?] railways.
		It was known as the 'Premier Line' - though disputed by many it may be thought that it deserved this title as the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, the first passenger railway in the world, was one of its ancestors (through its merger with the Grand Junction Railway).
		The LNWR formed the major constituent of the London, Midland and Scottish (LMS) railway when the railways of Great Britain were merged into four groups in 1922.

	North London Railway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The North London Railway (known as the East and West India Docks and Birmingham Junction Railway until 1853) was a railway that opened in 1850 and connected the north of London to the East and West India Docks.
		In 1858 the line was extended along the North and South West Junction Railway (a joint enterprise by the LNWR, Midland Railway, and the NLR) from Willesden Junction and a connecting London and South Western Railway branch to Richmond.
		The Docklands Light Railway follows the path of the long-disused North London Railway from Bow Church to Poplar and the northern section of the East Cross Route (A12) built in the late 1960s used the route between Old Ford and Victoria Park stations, which were demolished during the road's construction.

	Victorian London - Communications - Post - Frequency of Postal Deliveries
		I believe the inhabitants of London are under the impression that Letters posted for delivery within the metropolitan district commonly reach their destination within, at the outside, three hours of the time of postage.
		London is divided into 8 postal districts, in which the number of deliveries varies from 12 to 6 daily, between 7.30 a.m.
		For the first London district delivery letters can be registered at the chief office, at the head district offices, and at the Lombard-street, Gracechurch-st, Mark-lane, Ludgate-circus, and Charing-cross post-offices for the ordinary fee between 6 and 7.30 p.m., and at the town receiving-houses between 5.30 and 7.30 p.m.

	Railway Technology - London Overground Suburban Network - North London Line
		London has embarked upon a new era of rail travel, which is intended to revitalise heavy rail services in the UK capital.
		London Overground is the new brand name that has been given to the future operation of the present North London Railways (NLR) and East London Line (ELL) franchises.

		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.

	The Story of the L.M.S.
		Of the constituent companies the London and North Western, generally accorded the title of "the premier line." was the largest, with a route mileage of 1,807 in 1921.
		Although, for example, the Canadian Pacific Railway extends across the North American Continent, its track mileage is not proportionately in excess of that of the L.M.S. The historic trial of locomotives at Rainhill, nine miles east of Liverpool, was begun on October 6, 1829.
		In 1858 Parliament sanctioned the absorption of the Chester and Holyhead Railway.

	Subterranea Britannica: SB-Sites: Dalston Junction Station
		The 1861 North London Railway Act authorised the building of a triangular junction at Dalston where a new station would be built (replacing the station at Kingsland), with a triple line running southwards for two miles, much of it on viaduct, to Broad Street on the edge of the City.
		With the opening of a new connecting spur between the North London and the former Great Eastern line at Hackney the remaining Broad Street trains were diverted into Liverpool Street bringing final closure to Broad Street and Dalston Junction on 30.6.1986.
		The existing East London Line station at Shoreditch will close in June 2006 and the line will be rerouted through the old Bishopsgate Goods Depot and across Shoreditch High Street on a new bridge to join the North London Line viaduct south of the NLR's Shoreditch Station.

	Ongar Railway (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The railway was not extended to Epping and Ongar until 1865, by which time the ECR had been absorbed into the Great Eastern Railway.
		In 1874/75 the GER built a new London terminus at Liverpool Street and from then on, the majority of trains from Ongar and Epping ran into this new terminus, although Fenchurch Street continued to be used, especially during peak hours.
		However in 1923 the GER was absorbed into the newly created London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) and, in the years which followed, development of these towns along the railway gained momentum and created an increasing burden on the steam hauled services of the branch.

		The Mayor of London has welcomed the transfer of responsibility for some of the capital's passenger rail services from the Government to Transport for London (TfL).
		The North London Railway has suffered from decades of neglect. To raise the standard of the railway to the TfL standards currently experienced by passengers on other managed TfL modes such as bus and Tube, will take time.

		We know that NLR stock was operating in the Workington area, because one rake of stock was involved in a shunting accident there; this was noted in records at the LMS carriage works at Wolverton.
		Fragments of a London newspaper of 1916 suggest the vehicle was still in North London at this stage.

	London and North Eastern Railway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The North Eastern Railway owned the largest mileage: 1757 route miles (2828 km), as compared with the North British Railway (1378 miles or 2218 km) and the Hull and Barnsley Railway, at 106.5 miles (171 km).
		In partnership with the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS), the LNER was co-owner of the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway, the UK's biggest joint railway system, much of which competed with the LNER's own lines.
		The company was nationalised in 1948 under the Transport Act 1947 and became part of British Railways, in part so that the severe war damage in the big, inner-city stations could be repaired more swiftly.
