I had a quick look down the list, and couldn't see that anyone had passed this on already...
I'd have been pleased if it had been staff, because my g-g-father was a guard. On the other hand, I believe I've probably got all there is from the GWR records about him, because I went to Kew and looked at the staff registers.

Findmypast.com has been working in partnership with the Society of Genealogists (SOG) to publish online records held at the Society's London headquarters. The Great Western Railway Shareholders Index is now live.
This unique index is not an index of railway staff, but shareholders in the Great Western Railway. The index contains details for 77,000 shareholders, with a total number of 292,000 names plus addresses (where given) entered into the registers.
The Great Western Railway, also known affectionately as "God's Wonderful Railway", was built to link London to the West Country, South Wales and the South West of England. Bristol merchants were desperate for effective transport links to London, to prevent the emergence of Liverpool as the country’s second port.
