North Eastern Railway (UK)

The North Eastern Railway (NER) was a major railway company in the United Kingdom that operated from 1854 to 1923. It was responsible for creating and managing a vast network of train routes primarily in northeastern England, connecting cities like Newcastle, Durham, and York. The NER played a significant role in supporting industry, travel, and commerce in the region during the Victorian era and early 20th century. In 1923, it became part of the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) due to railway grouping reforms. The NER's infrastructure and services contributed to regional development and transportation efficiency.
