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:

    “Such joint ownership creates a place where mothers can “father” and fathers can “mother.” It does not encourage mothers and fathers to compete with one another for “first- place parent.” Such competition is not especially good for marriage and furthermore drives kids nuts.”
    —Kyle D. Pruett (20th century)

    “How soon country people forget. When they fall in love with a city it is forever, and it is like forever. As though there never was a time when they didn’t love it. The minute they arrive at the train station or get off the ferry and glimpse the wide streets and the wasteful lamps lighting them, they know they are born for it. There, in a city, they are not so much new as themselves: their stronger, riskier selves.”
    —Toni Morrison (b. 1931)

    “In inner-party politics, these methods lead, as we shall yet see, to this: the party organization substitutes itself for the party, the central committee substitutes itself for the organization, and, finally, a “dictator” substitutes himself for the central committee.”
    —Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)
