The modernisation plan of the mid to late 1950s, was intended to bring the railway system kicking and screaming into the 20th century. However most railway historians now regard it as a costly failure and a missed opportunity. The plan involved major projects of electrification and dieselisation of the existing network. However, the plan has been widely criticised since it failed to define what the railways were actually for, and failed to take into account the impact that the motor car, road transport and a changing society would have upon the railway system, and attempting to carry th ...

The Transport Act 1947 nationalised all private forms of mass transport in Great Britain. The British Transport Commission (BTC) was formed to oversee the working of the Act. To oversee the railways, the British Transport Commission Railway Executive, known as British Railways, came into being. Under the BTC's Railway Executive, the railways were organised into six regions: Eastern Region (ER) — southern LNER lines (region later amalgamated with the North Eastern Region). North Eastern Region (NER) — northern LNER l ...

During the First World War the whole system was taken under government control and run by the Railway Operating Division of the War Office. This revealed some advantages in running the railways with fewer companies, and after the war it was widely agreed that the required development of the rail network could not be achieved under the conditions that had existed before the war. Nationalisation of the railways, which had been mooted by William Gladstone as early as the 1830s, was considered, but was rejected by the government and the owners o ...

In the 16 years before the outbreak of WWII the new companies set about the tremendous task of rebuilding railways which had had little or no work done since 1918. Priority was new rolling stock: locomotives, coaches and wagons. As an example of the need for rationalisation, the LMSR took over 10,316 steam locomotives at the grouping: these comprised no fewer than 393 different classes. In the 1920s each of the companies produced some exceptional locomotives: LMSR: Royal Scot class 4-6-0 (1927); Sir Henry Fowler wa ...

The 1970s saw British Rail succesfully introduced high speed diesel train services in 1976 with the InterCity 125 High Speed Train (HST), on some services, and adoption of the InterCity brand. This created an increase in passengers using the railways and improved British Rail's fianances. Less succesfully, British Rail attempted to create a tilting train - The Advanced Passenger Train (APT), but this was later cancelled. ...

History of rail transport in Great Britain - English railways. Great Central Railway (GCR): before 1897 the GCR was called the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway, when it served those areas by means of an east-west line; it then built a line to London, and was renamed as the GCR. The line occupied the central position between the East and West Coast main lines (see below) and had its London terminus at Marylebone station. Since nationalisation the route has been truncated.

In the post-war world, lifestyles underwent radical changes, cars became affordable to the masses, new road and motorways were built. The railways on the other hand entered the post-war world with technologies and operating practices which had changed little since the Victorian era. The last 60 years have seen the railways stumbling to adjust to the new world. The railways attempts to modernise during the 1950s ...

The Hymeks were capable of operating in multiple (with one driver), but only with each other. The electro-pneumatic control system only allowed one trailing locomotive to be controlled. Some trains were operated by three locomotives (all at the front of the train) but in these cases only two locomotives were connected in multiple, the third having a separate driver. ...

When first built, the Hymeks were given one of the more elaborate liveries. The main body of the locomotive was the standard Dark Brunswick Green, but with a Lime Green stripe along the bottom of the bodywork. The roof was Medium Grey and the finishing touch was to paint the window surrounds in Ivory White. Not long after their introduction the Yellow warning panel was added to the lower part of the front ends. With the general change to Rail Blue, some locomotives received this colour all over with just the small Yellow warning panels. This was quickly cha ...

In the 1960s there was a mass withdrawal of steam types. Older types were withdrawn in preference to the standard fours which all remained intact until 1964 apart from one written off in a collision. The final nine were withdrawn from the Southern Region on 9 July 1967. One, 80002, remained in Glasgow past the end of steam haulage until 1969 where she heated carriages. ...

The initial research into vehicle dynamics was at the cutting edge in the 1960s. The knowledge obtained has passed into mainstream theory such that it is taken for granted. An early benefit was that freight trains could be speeded up, such that hundreds of miles of relief track ('slow lines') could be dispensed with. Much of the knowledge gained was applied to the design of the High Speed Train which built upon the design of existing trains. The APT-P was new throughout and, perhaps, should have remained a 'concept vehicle'. However, ...

Political and managerial pressure to show results led to the three APT-P trains being launched in 1981 when, in hindsight, it was not ready for service; many technical problems persisted and reliability was not high. Predictably, the train suffered highly visible problems. Two APT-Ps were intended to be available for service at any given time, with the third out of service for overhaul and maintenance. The APT was often jokingly referred t ...
