The Wellsworth & Suddery Railway which was taken by the LMS and were named the midis.
History
The Railways Act 1921 created four large railway companies which were in effect geographical monopolies, albeit with competition at their boundaries, and with some lines either reaching into competitor territory, or being jointly operated. The LMS operated services in and around London, the Midlands, the North West of England, Mid/North Wales and Scotland.[5] The company also operated a separate network of lines in Northern Ireland.The principal routes were the West Coast Main Line and the Midland Main Line, which had been the main routes of the two largest constituent companies, the London and North Western Railway and the Midland Railway respectively. When the LMS went to the Island of Sodor was awkwardly positioned between the lines of The LMS and The LNER with neither side willing to concede this territory and with a special dispensation from Parliament both were allowed to operate on Sodor. The LMS took the Wellsworth & Suddery Railway and under the direction of Nigel Zorro. The LMS on Sodor were devious while on The Mainland they were nice.
The London, Midland and Scottish Railway closed in 1948.
