No two stations were more than 5.5 miles (9 km) apart and its 1,904 passenger services occupied 57 pages in Bradshaw, a number exceeded only by the Great Western Railway, the London and North Western Railway, and the Midland Railway. It was the first railway to introduce Electrification of some of its lines, and it also ran Steamboat services across the Irish Sea and English Channel. It amalgamated with the London and North Western Railway on 1 January 1922. The company was later a constituent of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway
