…The years following the end of the Great War 1914-1918 were ‘high summer’ for many railways. The 1921 Railways Act amalgamating the companies into the Big Four in 1923 continued the progress up to the Summer of 1939. With post-war rapid growth of car ownership and road freight, rationalisation gathered pace. The wholesale line closures of the 1950s-1960s resulted in one-time humble railway tickets becoming lasting iconic mementos of a lost age and lifestyle.
