Selection and destruction information
The series has been created from a number of variously designated collections of records the provenance of which was not always clear, the collections reflecting the final use of the records rather than their original order. Appraisal reflects the economic, social and demographic condition of the UK. The files selected deal with high-level business objectives and financial planning including strategic reviews of particular British Rail services.
