Instead, only the LNER was thus honoured it has occurred to me to wonder why this was, and has remained, so. With the game having been invented and come on the market in the 1930s - and with its being set in its British form in London, and involving four railway-terminus �properties� � one feels that it would have seemed apposite and pleasing, for the game to feature one important terminus in the capital, from each of the Grouping�s ∻ig Four� railway companies. In traditional British editions of the game �Monopoly�, the board�s four London stations are all termini formerly of the LNER: Fenchurch Street, Kings Cross, Liverpool Street, and Marylebone (in editions from the pre-nationalisation era, these stations are specifically labelled on the board, �LNER�).
