The Leeds Northern Railway Station Staff Survey
1853
In 1854, the LNR merged with
three other major railways to form The North Eastern Railways (NER) which
eventually merged with the Stockton and Darlington Railway in July, 1863. The
NER lasted until the 1923 amalgamation when it became part of the London North
Eastern Railway.
Just prior to the formation
of the NER, the LNR undertook a survey of all its station staff. This survey has
been transcribed below.
