This is superBritain's byzantine, disparate collection of railway companies and networks, damaged, dilapidated and insolvent in the aftermath of the Great Western War, were nationalised by the Lloyd George government under the Transport Act of 1935. Dozens of railway companies which made up the majority of Great Britain and Ireland's railway network were merged into the government-owned British Railways Corporation.
The Belisha Report into the status of Britain's railways, which recommended nationalisation, also recommended electrification of Britain's main intercity and suburban trunk routes using the 1500-volt overhead system that was being rolled out in the Netherlands, standardising the many experimental electrification projects of different voltages and infrastructure built by pre-war railway companies.
This thirty-year project of electrifircation was heavily supported by American and German loans, which in turn necessitated much American and German equipment. While the E122 units, familiar to commuters from the South Coast, East Anglia and the Great North mainline were built by Vickers, much of the equipment and technology came from German manufacturers. Likewise the E12s, the workhorses of intercity transport in Britain for forty years, were a joint venture between the government-owned British Rail Locomotive and America's General Electric.
