British Transport Commission

The British Transport Commission (BTC), established in 1948, was a government agency responsible for overseeing and managing the UK's railway, road, and canal transportation systems. It unified these services under one organization to improve coordination, efficiency, and development across the transport network. The BTC aimed to modernize and expand infrastructure, ensuring reliable transportation for passengers and freight. It operated until 1962, when its responsibilities were transferred to separate companies and government departments, reflecting the evolving approach to transport management in the UK.
