Nottingham Joint Station Committee

The Nottingham Joint Station Committee was incorporated by the Great Central and Great Northern Railway Act 1897 to manage the railway station which was to become Nottingham Victoria. The Committee comprised representatives of the two railway companies to use the station: the Great Northern and the Great Central.

The Committee was no longer required when both companies were grouped (with others) on 1 January 1923 to form the London and North Eastern Railway Company.

Famous quotes containing the words joint, station and/or committee:

    “There is no such thing as “the Queen’s English.” The property has gone into the hands of a joint stock company and we own the bulk of the shares!”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “...I believe it is now the duty of the slaves of the South to rebuke their masters for their robbery, oppression and crime.... No station or character can destroy individual responsibility, in the matter of reproving sin.”
    —Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)

    “I find it profoundly symbolic that I am appearing before a committee of fifteen men who will report to a legislative body of one hundred men because of a decision handed down by a court comprised of nine men—on an issue that affects millions of women.... I have the feeling that if men could get pregnant, we wouldn’t be struggling for this legislation. If men could get pregnant, maternity benefits would be as sacrosanct as the G.I. Bill.”
    —Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
