Southern Railway (UK)
The
Southern Railway
(SR), sometimes shortened to 'Southern', was a
British
railway company established in the
1923 Grouping
. It linked London with the
Channel
ports,
South West England
,
South coast resorts
and
Kent
. The railway was formed by the amalgamation of several smaller railway companies, the largest of which were the
London & South Western Railway
(LSWR), the
London, Brighton and South Coast Railway
(LBSC) and the
South Eastern and Chatham Railway
(SECR). The construction of what was to become the Southern Railway began in 1838 with the opening of the
London and Southampton Railway
, which was renamed the London & South Western Railway.
