British railway milk trains
Milk Trains were a common sight on Railways in the United Kingdom from the early 1930s to the late 1960s. Introduced to transport raw milk from creameries to food processing units in remote locations, they were the last railway-based system before the mass-introduction of pasteurization and resultant industry use of road transport.
==History==
Post grouping in 1923, of the 282 million gallons of milk transported by rail by all four national railways companies.〔 The Great Western Railway had the largest share of milk traffic, serving the rural and highly agricultural West of England and South Wales; followed by the LMS which collected from Cumbria and North Wales; the Southern particularly from the Somerset and Dorset Railway; and finally the LNER from East Anglia.〔http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/gansg/7-fops/fo-milk.htm〕
The Milk Marketing Board was created in 1933, and in 1942 during World War II they took control of all milk transport.
By the late 1960s the MMB had switched entirely to road haulage, and only Express Dairies and Unigate continued to use rail transport.
