- John Elliot (railway manager)
Sir John Elliot (1898 – 1988) was a British transport and railway manager. He joined Southern Railway in 1925 as a public relations assistant and continued in various posts with the company until it was nationalised, with the rest of the railway system, into British Railways in 1947. He continued to work for the nationalised company, rising to Chairman of the Railway Executive, until he was appointed as Chairman of London Transport in 1953, a post he held until 1959. John Elliot's biography, "On And Off The Rails," was published by George Allen & Unwin in 1982.
