Hi
The LNER inherited a joint interest in the Metropolitan & Great Central Joint Committee line in 1923. They subsequently shared joint interest with various bodies as follows:
pre-1923: line jointly owned by the Metropolitan Railway (MetR) and the Great Central Railway (GCR)
1923-1933: still owned by the MetR, now jointly with the L.N.E.R. (who inherited the joint ownership from the G.C.R. in the 1923 grouping)
1933-1948: now jointly owned by the London Passenger Transport Board (who inherited joint ownership from the MetR) and (still) the L.N.E.R.
... and subsequently ...
1948-1963: line owned by British Transport Commission (London Transport Executive)
1963: line owned by London Transport Board, jointly with British Railways (?)
... I think!!
