About this title

Synopsis

The amalgamation of a myriad of smaller railway companies into the GWR, LNER, LMS and SR was a compromise solution intended to encourage efficiencies but avoid a total nationalization of the system. This analysis of the landmark reorganization describes how Transport Minister Eric Geddes’ plan developed after the First World War and assesses the impact of the grouping on Britain’s railways.
