Question

The LNWR employed 82,835 people in 1904. How many were women.?

Answer 1

I doubt if this information is now available, but at a guess I would think very few. Before WWI railways were very much a male preserve. Women would have been employed in lowly capacities only such as office cleaners and tea ladies and possibly also as secretaries/typists and filing clerks.
