en	You've nationalised the railways! The Big Four have become one - British Railways.

en	After World War II, Britain's railway companies were struggling. Nationalisation as one company - British Railways (BR) - was the solution.

en	British Railways

en	With an aging rail network in need of modernising, British Railways started to introduce new diesel and electric locomotives to replace steam locomotives.

en	British Railways II

en	The success of diesel locomotives led to a new livery and famous logo for the renamed British Rail.

en	British Rail III

en	Following the rebranding, a new series of trains were introduced including the famous high speed train, the Intercity 125.

en	British Rail IV

en	The 1980s saw the start of the penultimate chapter of BR's existence. Five brands started to replace different parts of the company; ScotRail for Scottish rail passenger journeys, Inter-City for long-distance passenger journeys, Network SouthEast for mainly commuter journeys to London, Regional Railways for the remaining passenger journeys, and Railfreight for all freight transport.

en	British Rail V

en	As the century drew to a close, there were further splits of BR into 'shadow companies', ahead of privatisation.

en	At the end of the 19th Century, the Great Western Railway (GWR) had been operating for 60 years, but was fresh with change after recently switching gauges.

en	Great Western Railway

en	The Edwardian era saw the GWR standardise their designs in a style which would last until the middle of the century.

en	Great Western Railway II

en	Post World War I, the railway companies were struggling and were forced to merge into larger companies, with the exception of one - the GWR!

en	Great Western Railway III

en	Nearing the middle of the 20th Century, the GWR started introducing new technology such as diesel railcars.

en	Running from Cornwall to England's capital, the London and South Western Railway (LSWR) had an Atlantic 'Boat Train' high-speed steam rivalry with the GWR's network. These were fast trains which met the ocean liners which had travelled from around the world before reaching the south west English shores.

en	London and South Western Railway

en	As the 20th Century progressed, the LSWR started to use electric trains on its expanding London commuter routes.

en	London and South Western Railway II

en	The South Eastern and Chatham Railway (SECR) was actually two separate companies - the South East Railway and the London, Chatham and Dover Railway - created as a 'management committee' at the end of the 19th Century that ran trains for the two companies between Kent's ports and London.
