If any indication of the Important part played by British Railways In the life of the Nation were needed, this booklet clearly demonstrates that fact, and gives some small idea of the many and varied services provided in order to present to the Public a thoroughly efficient and progressive Transportation system. Apart from the fact that over 21,000 miles of track are owned and operated by the British Railways, they are the largest Dock and Hotel owners in the world and operate a considerable fleet of ships which maintain an efficient service for passengers and goods to and from the Continent of Europe, Ireland, the Isle of Wight, etc. In addition, the British Railways possess and work an up-to-date Road Carrier and Cartage Business and at the same time have considerable interests in Road Passenger Transport Companies as well as in Air Services.
The constant and varying demands continually being made upon the Railways are such as to make it imperative that the progressive policy of the Companies should be maintained and speeded up. So important is this necessity that the Government have recently concluded an Agreement whereby the Main Line Railway Companies will be assisted in raising no less than C26,000,000 at a low rate of interest to enable further important developments to be taken in hand. London presents one of the most difficult transport problems of the age, but here again the Government have realised the importance of providing adequate facilities and have made available a sum of C40,000,000 at a low rate of interest for improving and extending the means of transportation in the Metropolis. When this work is completed London will have a system of transport unequalled by any other Capital in the world.
