	Southern Railway (UK) - Definition, explanation
		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 density of much of the Southern's trackage and traffic made it a natural candidate for electrification; indeed the LSWR and the LBSCR had already introduced it for some of their lines in the London area before the grouping.

	The London, Brighton and South Coast Railway
		At its peak the railway formed a triangle with its base along the south coast from Portsmouth to Hastings and its apex in London.
		The line was amalgamated along with four other major companies (the London and South Western Railway; the South Eastern Railway; the London Chatham and Dover Railway; and the South Eastern and Chatham Railway), and a number of minor ones, into the Southern Railway by Act of Parliament with effect from 1st January 1923.
		This was primarily due to the beautiful yellow ochre livery carried by the locomotives in the William Stroudley and Robert Billinton periods.

		The major constituents of the Southern Railway were the London and South Western Railway, the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway and the combined systems of the South Eastern Railway and the London, Chatham and Dover Railway, called the South Eastern and Chatham Railway.
		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.
		The density of much of the Southern's trackage and traffic made it a natural candidate for electrification, and much of the suburban section of the railway was electrified using a side-mounted, top-contact third rail system at 600 volts DC.
