Have a look at this list of records from the National Archives, it gives details of what archives are held from the company and where they are.

Ancestry have some Railway records:

UK, Railway Employment Records, 1833-1956
The collection features selected records from the following companies:
RAIL397: London and North Eastern Railway Company
(and others)


However piece no 13 is missing.


When I tried to look for my G-Grandfather's records, I found it more cost-effective to employ a specialised Railway researcher.
I live on the Isle of Man, and would have to pay for transport and accommodation if I went to Kew!

Try Doncaster archive and look for the record of the GNR Sick and Friendly Society.
From 1923 when the LNER was formed membership was opened to staff on all parts of the new company.As there was no sick pay it was in effect a staff register as virtually all joined it.

Findmypast has some trade union records from the Modern Records Centre at the University of Warwick, and they include some for rail unions:

A potential problem with rail union records, specially NUR who represented bus workers where the bus company had been one by a railway company.

LNER took over the North British Railway Company, might be relevant?

Companies involved: Lincolnshire Road Car, Yorkshire Traction, United. These are just those I have had
involvement with. Basically to fight competition from road transport during the 1920s and 1930s most if not all the mainline railways bought interests (at a minimum) in many regional bus operations. Embryonic integration of passenger transport?
