Product Description

Liverpool has many railway ‘firsts’ in the world: an inter-city service, an electrified overhead railway, a large-scale marshalling yard, a deep-level suburban tunnel & one under a tidal estuary.

In Britain it can boast of other firsts: an escalator in a railway station, conversion from steam to electricity & the first main-line electrification, a widely reported death in a railway accident, a proper train shed constructed of iron & glass & automatic signalling & electric signal lights.

Some of these are still working well 185 years later, still fit for purpose, like the railways to Manchester & the Wirral. Liverpool also claims the oldest continuously operated station in the world.
