Talk:London and North Western Railway

Comment
I notice what I perceive to be a combination of inconsistency and omission: the London and North Western Railway article describes the LNWR's formation in 1846, but makes no mention of its subsequent expansion, for example by leasing the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway in 1859 and taking it over in 1879.

The History of rail transport in Great Britain article implies that LNWR served Scotland from 1846 through "an amalgamation of companies working from Euston to Scotland". The LNW Railway Society website, however, talks about serving Scotland through cooperation with the Calledonian Railway.

I am no expert, and don't currently have time to research this, but it would appear that at least one, and possibly both, of the LNWR and History of rail transport in Great Britain articles may be misleading. StephenDawson 16:34, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Don't think they're inconsistent. The LNWR (after further mergers) ran to Carlisle, which is just short of the Scottish border. Trains were run between London and Scotland as a joint operation with the Caledonian Railway. Exile 11:39, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

LNWR (1993)
There seems to be another London & North Western Railway Company which was founded by Pete Waterman. Can we have an article on this please? Biscuittin (talk) 14:17, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

Bolton & Leigh
The Bolton & Leigh Railway was already a part of the Grand Junction Railway when the LNWR was formed. If the B&L is included anong the "Predecessors" of the LNWR, then the Liverpool & Manchester Rly, the Leigh & Kenyon Junction Rly, the Crewe & Chester Rly etc etc would have to be included. Which seems pointless to me.Hyjack7 (talk) 4 June 2015 — Preceding undated comment added 15:51, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
