Did the British Rail London Midland Region overlap into the Network SouthEast Region?

Question

I'm planning a history for my model railway layout 'Kingsford', and I want to know whether the two regions overlapped.

It si primarily based in the BR (LMR), but from living in London for most of my life, I absolutely love the NSE colour scheme.

I really want to add some NSE trains to it.

Answer 1

Yes, it did. The LMR had London termini at Euston and St. Pancras, and later Marylebone when it became responsible for the lines out of that station. Network South East, however, wasn't a 'region' as the others were. That was set up at the time British Rail had given up regions and had subdivided itself into 'business sectors' - NSE, InterCity, Regional and the various freight sectors etc.
