In January 1923, following the Railways Act, UK rail history was made with the formation of Great Western Railway (GWR), London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS), London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) and Southern Railway (SR). Designed to consolidate the fragmented industry and improve efficiency. This led to iconic locomotives and journeys all over the country.
