LNWR Improved Precedent Class | Improved Precedent / Jumbo class Hardwicke at York Railway Museum

The type was also used by engineers such as Joseph Armstrong on the Great Western Railway and Francis Webb on the London and North Western Railway – one of the latter's types, the Improved Precedent / Jumbo class Hardwicke famously won the " Race to the North " for the LNWR.

* LNWR George the Fifth Class

A preserved example is LNWR G2a Class number 49395.

They were a Midlandised version of the London and North Western Railway ( LNWR ) Class G2 and Class G2A 0-8-0s.

They were also classified as Class G3 under the former LNWR system.

Soon afterwards, these were followed by designs by John G. Robinson of the Great Central Railway ( GCR Class 8 ) of 1902, and in 1903 by Francis Webb of the London and North Western Railway with his unsuccessful 4-cylinder compound locomotives of the 1400 ' Bill Bailey ' class, and George Jackson Churchward's GWR 2900 (" Saint ") Class which was the first in a long line of mixed traffic 4-6-0 classes operated by the Great Western Railway, and the 105 locomotives of the LNWR Whale Experiment Class, built 1905-1910.

Other significant early express 4-6-0 designs included the LNWR Prince of Wales Class, ( 246 locomotives built 1911-1921 ), the LNWR Claughton Class ( 130 locomotives built 1913-1924 ) and the Great Eastern Class S69, ( 81 produced 1912-1928 ).

He also reboilered the LNWR Claughton Class locomotives.

Other examples include the LNWR 1185 Class and the Port Talbot Railway 0-8-2T ( Cooke ) and Port Talbot Railway 0-8-2T ( Sharp Stewart ).

These trains were entrusted to pairs of LMS / MR Midland Compound 4-4-0s between Glasgow and, and a 4-6-0 locomotive of the LNWR Claughton Class, piloted by an LNWR George V 4-4-0, southwards to Euston station.

The first two were rebuilt in 1930 from the 1912-built LNWR Large Claughton Class, retaining the original driving wheels with their large bosses, the " double radial " bogie truck and some other parts.

This was GJR No. 49 and LNWR No. 1868

Examples of such engines include the Caledonian Railway Single, LNWR No. 3020 ' Cornwall ' and NER No. 66 ' Aerolite '.

* LNWR No 1868 ( formerly named Columbine ) built 1845

* No. 11 Tyne, 0-6-0, became LNWR no. 1377, sold to Benjamin Piercy ( contractor ) in 1865, became no. 3 Chancellor on the Wrexham, Mold and Connah's Quay Railway in 1866, scrapped about 1874

* The Loughborough Top Shed project would then rebuild the recovered remnants of the former LNWR Workington, Cumbria steam shed on an old landfill site, just to the north-east of the current shed

The London and North Western Railway ( LNWR ) Webb Coal Tank is a class of 0-6-2T steam locomotive.

The LNWR bought a somewhat larger engine in 1847, which was reported to have reached 72mph.

The National Railway Museum's collection at York includes a commemorative plaque and E. H. Bailey's statue of George Stephenson, both from the Great Hall, the entrance gates and an 1846 LNWR turntable discovered during demolition.

The Slow ( previously Fast ) Main Line platforms were almost entirely demolished during the electrification of the West Coast Main Line, with the last platform building disappearing in the 1980s when the LNWR platform canopies were removed.

In 1915 the line was extended further to Queen's Park, where it joined the DC lines of the London and North Western Railway ( LNWR ) that ran alongside the LNWR's main line ( now the West Coast Main Line ) as far as Watford Junction.

These lines, together with the Trent Valley Railway ( between Rugby and Stafford, avoiding Birmingham ), and the Manchester and Birmingham Railway, ( Crewe-Manchester ), amalgamated operations in 1846 to form the London and North Western Railway ( LNWR ).

Three other sections, the North Union Railway ( Wigan-Preston ), the Lancaster and Preston Junction Railway and the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway were later absorbed by the LNWR.

Another important section, the North Staffordshire Railway ( NSR ), which opened its route in 1848 from Macclesfield ( connecting with the LNWR from Manchester ) to Stafford and Colwich via Stoke-on-Trent also remained independent.

The London and North Western Railway ( LNWR, L & NWR ) was a British railway company between 1846 and 1922.

Watkin began to show an interest in railways and at age 26, also in 1845, he took on the secretaryship of the Trent Valley Railway, which was sold the following year to the London & Birmingham and Grand Junction railways ( which were about to amalgamate to form the London and North Western Railway ( LNWR )), for £ 438, 000.

In the 1870s a dispute with the London and North Western Railway ( LNWR ) over access rights to the LNWR line to Scotland caused the MR to construct the Settle and Carlisle line, the highest main line in England, in order to secure the company's access to Scotland.

Three other railway companies were also then seeking suitable locations for a terminus in Westminster: the Great Western ( GWR ) and the London & North Western ( LNWR ), and the East Kent Railway ( EKR ).

Richard Plantagenet Campbell Temple-Nugent-Brydges-Chandos-Grenville ( titled Marquess of Chandos following the death of his grandfather Richard Temple-Nugent-Brydges-Chandos-Grenville, 1st Duke of Buckingham and Chandos in 1839 ) was appointed chairman of the London and North Western Railway ( LNWR ) on 27 May 1857.

The station was first opened by the London and North Western Railway ( LNWR ) on 2 June 1879 on the main line from London to Birmingham.

The station opened on 1 October 1916 on the New Line on the north side of the existing London and North Western Railway ( LNWR ) tracks from Euston to Watford.

On 18 December 1890, a short branch line was opened by the London & North Western Railway ( LNWR, successor to the L & BR ) to Belmont and Stanmore to the north-east of the main line.

By this date the service was operated by the London and North Western Railway ( LNWR, successor to the NLR ).

The North Staffordshire Railway built a line from Stoke-on-Trent, joining the LNWR from the South East.

The station was at a junction with the London and North Western Railway's ( LNWR ) Bletchley to Oxford line, east of Steeple Claydon, and constructed to a rudimentary design at the cost of the A & BR, whose progress it viewed with disfavour.

The line was worked from the outset by the London and North Western Railway ( LNWR ) who paid the WRR 50 % of the gross earnings of the line.

Buckley railway station opened on 14 June 1860, with a line serving as a 5-mile ( 8 km ) line from Buckley to a junction with the London and North Western Railway ( LNWR ) Chester-Holyhead main line at Connah's Quay, in order to link collieries and brickworks in the Buckley area with a point of shipment on the River Dee.

Between 1858 and 1860 the company joined with the London, Chatham and Dover Railway ( LC & DR ), the Great Western Railway ( GWR ) and the London & North Western Railway ( LNWR ) to form the Victoria Station & Pimlico Railway Company, which constructed a new bridge over the River Thames at Battersea and an important new terminus in the west end of London at Victoria.

The North London Line through Gospel Oak was electrified on the fourth-rail 660 volt DC system in 1916 by the LNWR: in the 1970s that was changed to 750 volt DC third rail.

* North Union Railway, 22 May 1834 – 26 July 1889 ( joint LNWR )

Within these main connections with other railway companies, most notably the London and North Western Railway ( LNWR ), the company operated a network of smaller lines although the total route mileage of the company never exceeded.

In 1875, the LNWR and the Midland planned to absorb the North Staffordshire Railway, and Watkin suggested to the Great Northern that their two companies might make a counter-offer.

Later he switched to 7 mm scale modelling, building Kendal, Kendal II and Kendal Branch the latter of the earlier pre-grouping period of the London and North Western Railway ( LNWR ).

In the meantime, the line had been extended westwards to Hampstead Road in 1851 to join the London and North Western Railway ( LNWR ).
