| English | blazon wanted |
Origin/meaning
It was the first railway company to obtain a grant of arms from the College of Arms, on 25 Feb 1898.
The arms include parts of arms of Manchester, Sheffield and Lincoln; the hollow cross and swords for London; the wings and winged helmet of Mercury, signifying speed.
The crest was an express steam locomotive affrontée with golden wings, again for speed.
The motto FORWARD - possibly suggested by the Chairman, Sir Edward Watkin.
