The List of British Railway Companies.

These pages list all the railway companies of Britain from early days to the present day. Each railway company is presented with its dates of incorporation and closure / take over. Also where known the railway company taking over is shown. Clicking on that company will take you to the details for that railway company.

We intend to gradually add links to further details on the chronology of the company and to other sites on the internet specialising on each company. Where this information is available it can be reached by clicking on the railway company name.

Your help and input, as always, is most welcome in extending this database.
