Sir George Russell, 4th Baronet

Sir George Russell, 4th Baronet (23 August 1828 – 7 March 1898)[1] was a British barrister, judge, and Conservative politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1885 to 1898.

Russell was elected Chairman of the South Eastern Railway (SER) on 24 January 1895, and served in that post until his death on 7 March 1898, being replaced by Cosmo Bonsor.

During Russell's short term as chairman, the SER began to work more closely with its rivals.

[6] The Railway Times remarked upon his succession to the chair he initiated a policy wholly new to that company, the salient features of which were peace with its neighbours and an energetic development of its own resources.
