> the boundaries of the original private railway companies (GWR, LNER, LMS, SR)
Minor point, though maybe less minor in context of the original post. They are not the original private railway companies. They are the companies created in the 1920s by the London government as it forced railway companies together after it had took them under state control during ww1.
The original private railway companies were originally primarily northern companies, some of who eventually developed mainlines to the rich south eastern markets.
