On the 26th November 1871 a group of railwaymen held a meeting in Leeds and made the decision which resulted in the establishment of of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants. A.S.R.S. Branch started to forming on the LBSCR during 1872 at many loco sheds from London - Brighton and along the coast to Eastbourne and Portsmouth
In 1872 the Engine Drivers and Firemen’s Society had been amalgamated with other Friendly societies and become apart the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants to protest to parliament over the excessive hours Railway workers were expected to endure. However as this Society was made up of all grades of railway workers it became very ineffective in achieving any improvements and its membership very quickly decreased
The Battersea & Longhedge branch of A.S.L.E. & F. was formed in 1887 representing enginemen from the Brighton, South Eastern & South Western (Nine Elms). This was first branch of A.S.L.E. & F. on the L.B.S.C.R.
