Just a general question which I'm sure somebody will know the answer to.
On the railway records on ancestry it gives pay rates. Is this a weekly pay rate? If so is it weekly for both GWR and LNWR?
Many thanks.

Depends what you're looking at. Skimming a variety of registers, they specify whether annual, weekly or daily. What sort of amounts?

Here are the ones I have:
LNWR
1889 - A labourer at 15/.
1892 - A saddler at 24/.
1899 - A labourer at 6/.
1907 - A furnace labourer at 19/.
1919 - A Shop Clerk Offices at 42/.
LMS
1936 - A mill shop labourer at 28/.
GWR
1920 - A 3rd Class Engine Driver at 17/. - this is on a full career record which includes various pay rates, but it doesn't specify if its weekly etc. The rate I have put here is just one example of many different rates during a career.

Look like weekly rates to me.
Here's one set out explicitly
Porter 12/- a week, 1/8 a day, £31-4-0 a year.
