Prior to re the re-grouping in 1923, when there were about 120 different railway companies, I was wondering if you were able to buy a ticket from say Elgin to Carlisle and travel over any private companies routes, whether it be the Highland Railway, North British, Caledonian, GNSR etc. In other words would there have been any restriction as to the route you took? The fare would be apportioned to the different companies by The Railway Clearing House I believe? If this were the case you could travel by any which route you pleased and it was all possible then, why cannot you do so now with our current TOCs?
