Welcome to the Railway
Britain website celebrating Britain's rich and diverse railway history
both past and present.
We hope that our websites will inspire and encourage you to explore further the rich transport history of our great nation.
If you have any comments about this website please feel free to contact me, Alex Naughton, via e-mail at:
ajnaughton@hotmail.com This
Website is developed using historical information researched by the
author from a
wide variety of sources, including books, magazines and websites etc
too numerous to mention or credit individually. While we try our very
best to ensure that any apparent "copyrights" are
not breached, due to limited time and resources we cannot always
guarantee that inadvertently mistakes may occur. But should such
inadvertent mistakes come to light we will do our best to cooperate.
Unfortunately we cannot guarantee to give credit to all information
sources used. We hope you understand.
The Internet was designed and created as a place independent of governments, free from any aspect of control, and where freedom of speech reigns supreme and it will probably always remain like this. Unfortunately we cannot uninvent the internet and we must face facts and accept that in today's globalised modern world, we will have less and less control over what is said and put on the internet. While I do sympathise with those who wish to hold back this technological change and resolutely protect to the full their "copyright" over material. Sadly, with respect, I think that they do not understand the realities of the modern technological, internet dominated world. Frankly it is inevitable that we cannot always guarantee that all copyrights will be protected resolutely on the internet anymore. We can try our very best but to police comprehensively the complete protection of all copyrights on the internet is nigh on impossible. Even global corporations are having trouble controlling the internet, so how us individuals can expect to control and police it I fail to see. For every website that is notified successfully of an inadvertent copyright protection breach there will inevitably be billions out there that continue to use perhaps unauthorised material. I am sorry if that seems a gloomy prediction, but I fear that this is a reality and a fact of life now and we must accept and resign ourselves to the realities of today's modern communication and internet age in the 21st century. This website does not intend to infringe any copyright and all reasonable steps are taken to ensure this to the best of our ability with limited resources. It is believed that all the information contained in this website, apart from those articles written by the author, are or use information freely available within the public domain or freely given for use on this website. All information on this website is purely intended to help promote the story of Britain's railways to a wider audience and to transport enthusiasts and is entirely not-for-profit and is not intended for commercial gain. We warmly welcome any donations of photographs or information to this website on the basis that no financial reward is asked for or given as this website is purely for charitable not-for-profit purposes. Finally unless otherwise stated all the photographs and pictures are from the author's personal collection. If you wish to use them on other websites or literature for charitable not-for-profit and non-commercial purposes then you are free to do so subject to an appropriate credit being given, although it would be nice if you let me know first.
