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

Skoosh.

Or, more specifically, the LNER was the new company into which the following railways were grouped in 1923:

Great Northern
Great Eastern
Great Central
Great North of Scotland
North British
North Eastern
Hull & Barnsley (actually merged with the North Eastern in 1922)

and a variety of other minor railway companies; but these were the principal ones.

Brought up in a railway family & thought LMS was the family monogram!

I think there are some railway staff records at the national railway museum.

Most of the companies omitted from the list are "joint"'companies eg M&GN ran from Nottingham/Peterborough to North Norfolk joint company Great Northern &Midland railways to compete with the Great Eastern in East Anglia, while simultaneously a GN&GEjoint line ran from March (Cambs) to Doncaster via Lincoln to compete with the Midland. This pattern was repeated nationwide, it was a jungle. There are no significant LNER staff records at TNA.
The LNER in common with most companies did not give sick pay, however they ran the Great Northern Loco Friendly Society which on merger day membership was opened to all staff in the new company.
It is effectively a census and it's records are held in Doncaster borough archive.

I am finding this thread interesting.
My gt gr father worked as a clerk in Glasgow from 1874 until about 1910.
I have never been able to find any mention of him anywhere! 
Has anybody any suggestions?
There is a thread on here somewhere.
He was Henry Kane b. 1850 ish near Armagh.

Caledonian railway.

Most probably either Caledonian or Glasgow & South Western. Both became part of the LMS, and so their records will have gone to Derby where they were destroyed by fire in 1950.

Thank you both.
That's that then!

Not quite. Look for other records of the companies of a similar type (sick funds etc) to those I referred to for the GN sick fund. There may be similar records to those in a Scottish archive in the Glasgow area. Never give up.
