British Rail, originally known as British Railways, was the nationalised operator of railways in the UK from 1948 until the 1990s, when the network was privatised, a process which was completed in 2001. BR was created from a merger of the four main railway companies in 1998, the GWR, LMS, LNER & SR. During the 1950s and 1960s, the network underwent modernisation with steam traction being replaced by diesel and electric along with major cuts to services and the network size as part of the Beeching Axe. Many British Rail locomotives are still used by privatised operating companies today, and new rolling stock still features British Rail as part of their official names.

  • British Rail Class 483 - Originally built in the late 1930's as London Underground 1938 Tube Stock, the Class 483 is a class of EMU that continued the life of the 1938 stock for a further 32 years on the Isle of Wight, with an operational history that lasted well into the post-privatisation era. These units, which were the oldest EMUs in mainline service at the time of their retirement, were finally replaced in 2021 by the Vivarail-built British Rail Class 484 EMUs.
