The Southern Railway (sometimes shortened to "Southern") was a British railway company established in the 1923 by merging several existing railway companies into a single entity. The railway linked London with the Channel ports, South West England, South coast resorts and Kent. The railway was noted for its astute use of public relations and a coherent management structure headed by Sir Herbert Walker. The Southern Railway played a vital role in the World War II (WWII), embarking the British Expeditionary Force, during the Dunkirk operations, and supplying Operation Overlord (D-Day) in 1944; because the railway was primarily a passenger network, its success was an even more remarkable achievement. The Southern Railway operated a number of famous named trains, including the Brighton Belle, the Bournemouth Belle, the Golden Arrow and the Night Ferry. The Southern Railway was nationalized in 1948, becoming the Southern Region of British Railways. Artist: Ronald Lampitt Important Added Info: Note that this poster is very rare.
