Railwaymen's Guild
After privatisation of the railways in 1994 the Guild was originally renamed the Railways Industries Association before it was realised that there was an identically named organisation which was a group of railway suppliers. The name was then changed to the Guild of Railway Ringers. [Original research by Pat Halls, subsequently taken on by John Harrison.]
