432 55 & 56 Vict. c.xlvi (1892). The Hull, Barnsley and West Riding Junction Railway was
formed in 1880, becoming the Hull and Barnsley Railway in 1905, and in 1923 was
grouped under the LNER. Initially the Act applied to the one railway only.
433 55 & 56 Vict. c.xlvii (1892). The Isle of Wight Railway (IoWR) opened in 1864, and ran
eventually from Ryde to Ventnor (and to Brading Harbour from 1882). The railway
company - together with the other companies operating railways on the island - was
amalgamated within the SR in 1923. Some 4 IoW companies fell within the 1892 (No.9)
Act.
434 55 & 56 Vict. c.xlviii (1892). The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway (LYR) was formed from
the amalgamation of several small railway companies in 1847. In 1922 it became part of
the existing LNWR and, a year later, it was grouped (with the LNWR) under the LMS. The
1892 (No.10) Act applied to several other railway companies operating in conjunction with
the LYR and the LNWR.
435 55 & 56 Vict. c.xlix (1892). The London, Tilbury and Southend Railway (LTSR) was fully
operational by 1856, and was merged into the Midland Railway in 1912. It became a part
of the LMS grouping in 1923. Some 14 small railway companies were governed by the
1892 (No.11) Act as enacted, although they seemed to have no geographic nexus.
436 55 & 56 Vict. c.l (1892). The Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway was formed
by amalgamation in 1846. After further expansion it became the Great Central Railway
(GCR) in 1897 (and subsequently was grouped under the LNER in 1923). The 1892 (No.
12) Act applied to at least 8 related companies.
437 55 & 56 Vict. c.li (1892). The Metropolitan Railway was incorporated in 1854 and operated
in London in various guises (some in partnership with other railway companies) until
amalgamated under the London Passenger Transport Board (LPTB) in 1933. The rates
and charges in the 1892 (No.13) Act were only designed to operate until the schedule of
charges to be applied by the Railways Act 1921 tribunal came into operation. The Act
applied also to two other City-related railways.
438 55 & 56 Vict. c.lii (1892). The Midland and South Western Junction Railway was formed in
1884 by amalgamation of two smaller companies, and operated until 1923 when it was
itself amalgamated within the GWR. The 1892 (No.14) Act applied to some 10 railway
companies - from Cornwall to Cheshire - when first enacted.
