Formerly the Eastern & Midlands Railway Company which was incorporated by act of 18 August 1882, and comprised the Lynn & Fakenham, Yarmouth & North Norfolk (Light), and Yarmouth Union undertakings which were dissolved on and from 31 December 1882. The company also controlled the Cromer Railway.
As from 1 July 1893 the properties of the company were acquired by the Midland and Great Northern companies under the provisions of the Midland and Great Northern railway companies (Eastern and Midland Railway) Act 1893, managed by a Joint Committee of the two companies having equal rights.
The Midland Railway became vested in the London Midland & Scottish Railway Company, and the Great Northern Railway in the London & North Eastern Railway Company as from 1 January 1923.
The committee passed to the British Transport Commission under Schedule 3 of the Transport Act 1947.
