    I think that GWR was around in WWI so guess it must have been that one.

    Bonus point for you ofh.

    Great Western Railway was the only pre-Grouping railway to continue to exist, having a lot of minor Welsh railways added to it. The other railways LMS, LNER and Southern were amalgamations of existing railway companies - the one that ran through Watford Junction being the London and North Western Railway (LNWR), the self-styled "Premier Line". But of course, what else these days.

    Close enough Yorkie. They are not all locks, but it was the Oxford canal I was looking for.
