What is London, Midland and Scottish Railway?
The '''London, Midland and Scottish Railway''' ('''LMS''') was one of the [[Big Four British railway companies]] from 1923 to 1948. It was formed on 1 January 1923 under the [[Railways Act 1921|Railways Act of 1921]], which required the grouping of over 120 separate railways into four. The companies merged into the LMS included the [[London and North Western Railway]], the [[Midland Railway]], the [[Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway]] (which had previously merged with the London and North Western Railway on 1 January 1922), several Scottish railway companies (including the Caledonian Railway), and numerous other, smaller ventures.
