The Royal Commission on Railway Gauges was held in the United Kingdom in 1845 to choose between the Broad Gauge of the Great Western Railway and its allies, and the so-called narrow gauge used by most of the rest of the country. The situation in Ireland where there were three gauges was also considered. Following the Royal Commission in August 1846 the Gauge Act was passed which mandated all new railways be constructed to 4 ft 8+1⁄2 in (1,435 mm) in England, Scotland and Wales, and to 5 ft 3 in (1,600 mm) in Ireland. The Great Western Railway was allowed to continue with 7 ft (2,134 mm).
