Just a quick question, I can't find the answer on google.
Can someone tell me what divisions each of the BR regions had? I'm particularly interested in the early 80s when I joined the service. I know about Southern & Western but not about Eastern (when there were five regions), Midland or Scottish. Also did the Operations & Engineering departments have the same divisions (I know that Western didn't). Also what date where they abolished and areas reported directly to regions?
