The Liverpool and Manchester Railway, which opened on September 15, 1830, is often celebrated in October as a pivotal milestone in the history of rail transportation. This pioneering railway was the first to rely exclusively on steam power, without the aid of horse-drawn vehicles, and to provide a scheduled passenger service. It also marked the first time two major cities were directly connected by rail. The railway's opening ceremony was attended by notable figures of the time, including the British Prime Minister, the Duke of Wellington. The railway was the brainchild of businessmen from Liverpool and Manchester who sought a faster and more reliable means of transporting raw materials and finished goods between the two industrial hubs. Designed by George Stephenson, the line stretched approximately 35 miles and featured several engineering marvels of its time, such as the Rainhill Skew Bridge and the Sankey Viaduct. The introduction of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway catalyzed a transport revolution, exemplifying the potential of railways to transform economies and societies. It facilitated industrial growth, reduced travel time significantly, and set the stage for the development of a comprehensive railway network across Britain and beyond. Every October, railway enthusiasts and historians reflect on this groundbreaking achievement, acknowledging its enduring impact on the modern world. #milestonesinrailwayhistory #railwayhistory #GeorgeStephenson #SteamPowerRevolution #LiverpoolManchesterLink #TransportRevolution #IndustrialGrowthCatalyst #HistoricRailConnections

A very interesting development emphasizing the need to improve existing rail infrastructure. It will also enhance integration and connectivity, advancing the concept of a 'bi-polar urban region' focused upon what is the most heavily populated area in the North West.
A new Liverpool-Manchester Railway Board has been launched on the 200th anniversary of the formation of the original Liverpool and Manchester Railway Company, which oversaw the construction of the world’s first inter-city passenger railway. The Board has been established to maximise the economic and social benefits of a new railway between the Liverpool City Region and Greater Manchester. Launching the Board at #UKREiiF2024, the Mayors of Liverpool City Region and Greater Manchester set out their preferred options for improvements to rail infrastructure linking the North West’s two largest city regions.

Change in rail flows to/from London The chart shows for those urban centres more than 100 miles from London, passenger flows in 2023/24 compared to 2018/19. Flows between London and Manchester have now overtaken those between London and Birmingham but only because the former haven't fallen as much as the latter which are down 23%. On more positive news flows between London and Edinburgh have soared, up by 52%, moving up from eighth to third in the ranking. There have also been large increases in flows to and from Bath and Bristol Parkway. (The latter along with Birmingham International are perhaps less urban areas and more serving business centres and wider residential areas.) Cardiff and Bristol have also seen increases which may reflect the impacts of electrification. Crewe has seen a large increase in patronage while neighbouring Chester and Stoke have seen significant declines of 38% each which may reflect changes in rail heading. Its sobering to note that the original HS2 proposals would have served 10 out of the 13 largest London intercity rail markets. #Jacobseconomics Passenger flows to and from London 2018/19 & 2023/24

Fantastic News below
On Monday we unveiled proposals to add Manchester to the London Northwestern Railway network, by extending our existing London – Crewe services to Manchester Victoria, as well as our Stafford - Crewe route at both ends to Manchester Airport and Birmingham. Our aim is to provide much needed additional capacity between the capital and twin second cities, as well as to local towns across the West Midlands & Northwest. Using our state of the art, British built Class 730 electric trains, we would look to run trains with up to 10 carriages, and capacity for 1200 passengers on each service. We’re also keen to work with Network Rail and industry partners to identify the best overall network solutions for improving capacity through some of the busiest parts of the network by aligning with planned upgrades to Manchester Victoria station, the TransPennine route upgrade and wider developments in the Northwest. Our MD Ian McConnell said, “Our proposal puts passengers at the heart of the railway and is the common sense solution to increase connectivity between the North West and the West Midlands following the cancellation of the northern leg of HS2. With platform space at Euston also at a premium, the best way to provide new journey opportunities is simply to extend existing services, rather than trying to squeeze more trains onto the congested West Coast Main Line. Just as we have shown with our existing long-distance services to Birmingham and Liverpool, our green and environmentally-friendly new electric trains will provide an affordable alternative to the car and coach, with fares up to 50% cheaper than the main intercity operator.” #Connectvity #Rail #Growth #PublicTransport #Manchester #Birmingham

On September 15, 1830, the Liverpool and Manchester Railway (L&MR) marked a pivotal moment in transportation history as it opened for public service, becoming the first inter-city railway to rely exclusively on steam power. This groundbreaking achievement not only revolutionized the way people and goods were transported but also heralded the dawn of the railway age. The L&MR connected the bustling port city of Liverpool with the rapidly industrializing city of Manchester, covering a distance of approximately 35 miles. It was a critical development that facilitated faster, more reliable transport compared to the existing canal and road systems. The railway was a feat of engineering, featuring innovations such as the first railway tunnel under a city, the Wapping Tunnel in Liverpool, and the viaduct at Sankey Brook. The line's success was attributed to the use of steam locomotives, most notably 'The Rocket' designed by George Stephenson and his son Robert. These locomotives demonstrated the power and efficiency of steam technology, capable of pulling heavy loads at unprecedented speeds. The opening day, however, was marred by a tragic incident when William Huskisson, a prominent politician, became the first railway fatality after accidentally being struck by a train. Despite this setback, the L&MR's successful operation set a precedent for future railway developments worldwide, fueling economic growth and transforming societal structures by making travel more accessible and efficient. #milestonesinhistory #railwayhistory #steamrevolution #transportationinnovation #georgestephenson #manchesterliverpoolline #engineeringmarvel #williamhuskisson

Speaking about a new transit plan coming to city council, Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow makes an important point: "As Toronto plans for the future, its ability to pay for transit expansion has to be front and center". The easier and more convenient we make it to get around the city, the more attractive Toronto becomes for businesses and visitors. Expanded and improved transit options must be a top priority as we plan for our economic future. #Toronto #Transportation #PublicTransportation #FutureOfTransportation
What does the future of Toronto transit look like?
