At 198 members this child group also remains over this atlas's oversized-group threshold and is expected to need its own further split, most naturally by England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland, in a follow-on pass.FactsAll Railroads of the United Kingdom and IrelandSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonUN M49 RegionWell-attestedNorthern Europe 1GICS SectorWell-attestedIndustrials
