The Great Western Railway (GWR) was a British railway company, linking South West England, the West Country and South Wales with London. It was founded in 1833, kept its identity through the 1923 grouping, and became part of British Railways at nationalisation in 1948. Known to some as God's Wonderful Railway or the Great Way Round, it gained great fame as the "Holiday Railway", taking huge numbers of people to resorts in the South-West.
