This is the second book on the Stratford-upon-Avon & Midland Junction Railway which was formed in 1909 by the amalgamation of three unsuccessful small railways, with a fourth being absorbed in the following year. This book takes a look at the S&MJR, LM&SR, BR and MoD eras from 1909 to 2018. After the initial progress had been interrupted by the rigours of WWI, Britain's railways were then amalgamated into four large groups in 1923 and the S&MJR lost its identity after just 14 years of independence. The new owners, the London Midland & Scottish Railway, then developed the line as a useful cross-country freight artery, linking the west of England with London and the East Midlands. The formation of British Railways in 1948 brought inevitable economies, resulting in the withdrawal of all passenger services by mid- 1952. By 1967, all of the lines had been closed with the exception of the short length from Fenny Compton to the large Ministry of Defence establishment at Kineton, which remains open today.
