With the amalgamation of Britain's rail network in 1923, the role of the Railway Clearing House (RCH) in co-ordinating, operating and commercial decision making might have been expected to diminish. Instead the Clearing House secretariat extended its involvement in pricing and co-ordination between the ‘big four’ railway companies and even became the basis for the new nationalised industry in 1947. This paper explores the RCH as a venue for discussion and negotiation, where routines were articulated and codified, extending those within individual railway companies. In so doing, the RCH is revealed as an extension of the managerial hierarchy of each separate firm
