  • The London Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) was a British railway company. It was formed on 1 January 1923 under the Railways Act of 1921, which required the grouping of over 300 separate railway companies into just four. The resulting company was an unwieldy construction, with numerous interests other than railway operations. Besides being the world's largest transport organisation, it was also the largest commercial undertaking in the British Empire and the United Kingdom's second largest employer, after the Post Office. The LMS also claimed to be the largest joint stock organisation in the world. In 1938, the LMS operated 6,870 miles (11,056 km) of railway (excluding its lines in Northern Ireland), but its profitability was generally disappointing, with a rate of return of only 2.7%. Along with the other members of the "Big Four" British railway companies, the LMS was nationalised on 1 January 1948, becoming part of the state-owned British Railways. The LMS was the largest of the Big Four railway companies and the only one to operate in all parts of the British Isles: England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

Sie entstand im Zuge einer Neuordnung des britischen Eisenbahnwesens, dem sogenannten Grouping und existierte von 1923 bis 1947. Die Länge des Streckennetzes betrug zum Zeitpunkt der Gründung 12.537 km. Hauptstrecken der LMS waren die West Coast Main Line und die Midland Main Line, die London mit den Midlands, dem Nordwesten Englands und Schottland verbanden.
  • ロンドン・ミッドランド・アンド・スコティッシュ鉄道は、イギリスにかつて存在した鉄道会社である。1921年鉄道法 による 300 あった鉄道会社を強制的に 4 つにするグループ化の一貫として1923年1月1日に合併により成立した。この合併は、世界最大の車輌運用母体兼最大運輸組織兼ヨーロッパ最大の企業体であり、最大のホテルチェーンを包含しているといわれた。1938年、LMS は総延長 6,870 マイル (11,056 キロメートル) の鉄道 を運用していたが、収益率は 2.7% に過ぎなかった。イギリスの他の鉄道とともに、LMS は1948年に国有化された。
