Comment

good luck with this. LOL. Leonig Mig 02:17, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Such a map would be a combination of those for the Birmingham and Gloucester and the Bristol and Gloucester. I just hope we dont get one of those ugly and unreadable charts that seem to be appearing everywhere.Chevin (talk) 08:34, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion?

I have suggested that this article should be deleted. There was no such company as the Birmingham and Bristol Railway.

The Bristol and Gloucester Railway and the Birmingham and Bristol Railway agreed to merge on 28 January 1845, and they prepared a Parliamentary Bill to authorise it. (They proposed to call it the Bristol and Birmingham Railway, not the Birmingham and Bristol Railway.)

Before this could be carried into effect, Ellis of the Midland negotiated the takeover by the Midland Railway with the directors of the Bristol and Gloucester Railway, as the article suggests.

Whatever, there was never a Birmingham and Bristol Railway, not even informally, as events moved too quickly for it to take form.Afterbrunel (talk) 19:09, 1 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
