The British Railways Board was a nationalised industry in the United Kingdom that existed from 1962 to 2001. Until 1997 it was responsible for most railway services in Great Britain, trading under the brand name British Railways and, from 1965, British Rail. It did not operate railways in Northern Ireland, where railways were the responsibility of the Government of Northern Ireland.
It was a statutory corporation, consisting of a chairman and nine to fifteen other members appointed by the Secretary of State for Transport.
