Above the "XII" can be seen "LBSCR", the initials of the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway. It was formed on 27th July 1846 by the amalgamation of the London & Brighton Railway and the London & Croydon Railway. At its peak the railway formed a triangle with its base along the south coast from Portsmouth to Hastings and its apex in London. The line was amalgamated along with four other major companies (the London & South Western Railway; the South Eastern Railway; the London Chatham & Dover Railway; and the South Eastern & Chatham Railway), and a number of minor ones, into the Southern Railway by Act of Parliament with effect from 1st January 1923.
