UERL: what's this about?

UERL :: Underground Eclectic Railways of London.

Anyone with a knowledge of the history of the London Underground will know that, in the early years before London Transport was formed, the majority of the Underground was already under common management - by the Underground Electric Railways Company of London.

Two eclectic things that persuaded me to name this blog: the variety and mixed history of railways that collectively make up the Underground; and the subject matter of my postings.

I can't guarantee to finish a series of posts quickly (or at all) as I may wander off on a tangent. As well as the Underground, I'll also cover the DLR, Overground and mainline railways if I feel like it. Hopefully you'll find something of interest here, though exploring the links on the right may prove more interesting!

Thus the name - hopefully easy(ish) to remember and makes sense.
