Synopsis
Excerpt from The British Railway System: Outlines of Its Early Development to the Year 1844
During this period the lines forming the nucleus of all our great systems (except the Great Northern) were opened wholly or in part, and~by the end of it the main outlines of our system as we know it to-day were settled for better or worse.
In the year 1844 Parliament passed a most important Act which, inter alia, empowered the State at any time after the lapse of 21 years from the passing of any Act for a new railway, reckoning from the year 1844 inclusive, to purchase such railway, at a price equivalent to 25 years' purchase of the annual divisible profits of such railway, reckoning these divisible profits by the average of the last 3 years before the notice to purchase is given.
