dbo:abstract
  • The British Railways Board (BRB) was a nationalised industry in the United Kingdom that operated from 1963 to 2001. Until 1997 it was responsible for most railway services in Great Britain, trading under the brand name British Railways and, from 1965, British Rail. It did not operate railways in Northern Ireland, where railways were the responsibility of the Government of Northern Ireland. It is a statutory corporation, which when operating consisted of a chairman and nine to fifteen other members appointed by the Secretary of State for Transport. The Board, now reduced to a minimum membership of a chairman and one other member, continues to exist to hold the French law benefits and obligations of the Channel Tunnel Rail Usage Contract. (en)
  • Der British Railways Board (BRB) leitete und verwaltete das britische Eisenbahnwesen von 1962 bis zur Privatisierung von British Rail im Jahr 1997. Der BRB wurde 1962 zur Regierungszeit des konservativen Premierministers Harold Macmillan geschaffen und nahm seine Arbeit am 1. Januar 1963 auf. Erster Vorsitzender wurde Richard Beeching. Nach der Privatisierung gingen Restbestände des BRB über an die Abwicklungsgesellschaft BRB (Residuary) Ltd, eine 100%ige Tochtergesellschaft der Strategic Rail Authority (SRA). Das umfangreiche Archiv von Akten, technischen Unterlagen und Bildmaterial ging an verschiedene Museen und Archive. Die Abwicklungsgesellschaft wurde 2013 aufgelöst. Formell existiert das British Railways Board weiterhin, es besteht jedoch nur aus einem Vorstand und einem Mitglied des Aufsichtsrates. Dies ist erforderlich, da es Vertragspartei diverser bilateraler Verträge im Zusammenhang mit dem Eurotunnel ist. (de)

  • Il British Railways Board (BRB) è stato l'organo di governo delle British Railways (in seguito British Rail) dal 1962 fino alla loro privatizzazione negli anni '90. Il BRB è stato creato dal Transport Act 1962 dal governo conservatore di Harold Macmillan per assumere le responsabilità ferroviarie della British Transport Commission, che è stata contemporaneamente sciolta. Ha tenuto il controllo della British Railways/British Rail dal 1º gennaio 1963 fino alla privatizzazione guidata dal governo conservatore di John Major ai sensi del Railway Act 1993. È sopravvissuto in forma residua, (BRB (Residuary) Ltd), una controllata al 100% della (SRA). Attraverso la sua controllata, Rail Property Ltd, mantiene la responsabilità del settore ferroviario non assegnato all'esercizio, ad esempio la base per le linee chiuse nell'ambito del programma Beeching Axe. Il British Railways Board conserva anche una grande quantità di archivi ferroviari, sotto forma di documenti, mappe, filmati e fotografie, risalenti a prima della nazionalizzazione. Durante la privatizzazione negli anni '90, questi sono stati distribuiti a varie organizzazioni: i film sono andati al British Film Institute di Londra, le fotografie al National Railway Museum (NRM) di York e la maggior parte dei documenti al Public Record Office.
