A number of different numbering and classification schemes were used for the locomotives owned by the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) and its constituent companies. This page explains the principal systems that were used. The following abbreviations for the constituent companies are used on this page:
Principal Constituents
Great Central Railway (GCR), Great Eastern Railway (GER), Great Northern Railway (GNR), Great North of Scotland Railway (GNoSR), Hull and Barnsley Railway (HBR), North British Railway (NBR), and North Eastern Railway (NER)
Minor Companies (absorbed between July 1923 and July 1924)
Colne Valley and Halstead Railway (CV&HR), East and West Yorkshire Union Railway (E&WYUR), and Mid-Suffolk Light Railway (MSLR)
Later Additions
Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway (M&GNJR) - absorbed October 1936
Ex-Metropolitan Railway steam locomotives (via the London Passenger Transport Board) - absorbed November 1937
