caption_attribution_description: English: Self-made derivative of the railway station signage used by the British Transport Commission from nationalisation of the railways until the "British Rail" rebrand in the 1960s. Design based on the non-trademarked and not copyrightable station sign shape, with colours taken from standard reference works about the totems in use at the time.
context_page_description: The Western Region was a region of British Railways from 1948. The region ceased to be an operating unit in its own right on completion of the "Organising for Quality" initiative on 6 April 1992. The Region consisted principally of ex-Great Western Railway lines, minus certain lines west of Birmingham, which were transferred to the London Midland Region in 1963 and with the addition of all former Southern Railway routes west of Exeter, which were subsequently rationalised.
