	Rail transport in Great Britain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Most UK railway stations date from the Victorian era and are located on the edge of town centres.
		UK railways are run at arm's length from the government, through two government organisations, both of which have statutory powers under various Acts of Parliament (such as the Railways Act 1993, the Competition Act 1998 and the Transport Act 2000), and both of which receive Directions and Guidance from the Secretaries of State for Transport.
		A symbolic loss to the UK rail freight industry was the custom of the Royal Mail, which from 2004 is discontinuing use of its 49-train fleet, and switching to road haulage after a near 170 year preference for trains.

	Live departure boards
		These pages are an alternative access point to the UK's "live departure boards", real-time information on departures and arrivals at railway stations in the UK.
		These pages are intended for railway enthusiasts rather than travellers, and people who use them to plan journeys do so entirely at their own risk.
		I have no control over any "official" railway websites and all of the inherent limitations of the live departure boards still apply.

	Guardian Unlimited Special reports Network Rail considers stations takeover
		Network Rail is considering seizing control of many of Britain's railway stations, amid concerns that they are being neglected by cash-strapped train operating companies.
		Just weeks after opting to take track maintenance in-house across the country, the not-for-profit company has revealed that it is reviewing the management of stations, in a move which could give it an even tighter grip on the network.
		More than half of Britain's stations are unmanned, serving smaller towns or rural communities, and are considered to offer few commercial opportunities.
