The Transport Act 1947 (10 & 11 Geo. 6 c. 49) was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Under the terms of the Act, the railway network, long-distance road haulage and various other types of transport were nationalised and came under the administration of the British Transport Commission. The BTC was responsible to the Ministry of Transport for general transport policy, which it exercised principally through financial control of a number of executives set up to manage specified sections of the industry under schemes of delegation.

  • Der Transport Act 1947 war ein im Jahr 1947 von der britischen Regierung unter Clement Attlee erlassenes Gesetz zur Verstaatlichung des Schienenverkehrs. Die vier großen Eisenbahnunternehmen * London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) * Great Western Railway (GWR) * London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) * Southern Railway (SR) sowie zahlreiche kleinere Transportunternehmen wurden verstaatlicht und in der (BTC) zusammengefasst. Die Anteilseigner der Eisenbahnunternehmen wurden mit Kompensationszahlungen abgefunden, die sich allerdings am geringen Wert der sich nach dem Krieg in einem ramponierten Zustand befindenden Eisenbahnunternehmen bemass. 15 Jahre später wurde mit dem Transport Act 1962 unter dem konservativen Premierminister Harold Macmillan die British Transport Commission aufgelöst und zum 1. Januar 1963 der British Railways Board gegründet. (de)
