	Transport Act 1947 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Under the Transport Act 1947 the railways, long-distance road haulage and various other types of transport were acquired by the state and handed over to a British Transport Commission for operation.
		The commission was responsible to the Ministry of Transport for general transport policy, which it exercised principally through financial control of a number of executives set up to manage specified sections of the industry under schemes of delegation.
		In Northern Ireland, the Ulster Transport Authority acted in a similar manner.The also nationalised other means of transport such as canals, sea and shipping ports, bus companies, and eventually amidst much opposition, road haulage.

		The original aim of the Ulster was to "lay a line of rails from the town of Belfast to the city of Armagh" although this was later revised to extend to Clones.
		The first trains of the Ulster ran between Lisburn and Belfast in 1839 and the building of the line towards Lurgan progressed slowly under the direction of the contractor William Dargan - indeed a Board of Works loan of £20,000 was needed to build the line.
		At this stage the Ulster were ready to extend their line to Armagh and it was laid to the new gauge, but first of all the river Bann had to be crossed.

	History of the Railways
		The UTA was dogged with accusations of anti-rail bias, and by 1967 the Authority was wound up and replaced by Ulsterbus, Northern Ireland Carriers (for freight, which soon passed into the private sector) and Ulster Transport Railways which became Northern Ireland Railways in 1968.
		The UTA came into being in September 1948 and the independent life of the railways was ended, except for the Great Northern which was not absorbed for ten years due to the complex legal arrangements of its cross-border nature.
		The closure of the line was part of the UTA's rationalisation of the transport system and the line was lifted in 1953, with the trackbed sold off to local farmers, and most of the infrastructure, such as signalling, bridges, etc. removed for scrap.
