This group of pages details the railway companies that went
together to form the Southern Railway from 1923 to 1948 and what has
subsequently happened. It also details other railways in the south of
England. Because it is a complex story to display it graphically as a
"family tree" is difficult and it would require at the very least a
"Cinemascope" format monitor to view it adequately. Not to mention
the time that would be required to download the graphics files! The
information is therefore presented as a series of lists.
Dates displayed on the pages are from either the date of incorporation or
operation |
