- 2023 January 11, Richard Foster, “British Rail's weirdest railways...: Northern Counties Commission”, in RAIL, number 974, page 46:
- The Midland merged with the Belfast & Northern Counties Railway on July 1 1903, to form the Midland Railway (Northern Counties Commission). This semi-autonomous organisation became the LMS (NCC) after Grouping in 1923 and then, upon Nationalisation on January 1 1948, the Railway Executive (NCC). BR's ownership would be short-lived - it sold the NCC to the Ulster Transport Authority on April 1 1949.
