Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway (L&YR) was a major British railway company before the 1923 Grouping. It was incorporated in 1847 from an amalgamation of several existing railways. It was the third-largest railway system based in Northern England (after the Midland and North Eastern Railways).
Wirral Railway The Wirral Railway was a suburban railway in Birkenhead, England. It was incorporated in 1863 as the Hoylake Railway, becoming the Wirral Railway in 1882. It ran from a terminus at Birkenhead Park to West Kirby, New Brighton, and Seacombe. In the 1923 grouping it became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway. It electrified its routes in 1938, allowing services to be run through the Mersey Railway tunnel to Liverpool. The Railway was nationalised, along with most other British rail services, in 1948. The railway is still in use today as part of the Wirral Line of the Merseyrail commuter rail network.
