Social & Economic Impact of the Railways
People became more interested in politics & this led to the growth of political parties
People were able to travel greater distances for
leisure & to work
Seaside towns developed; the railways
made cheap day trips possible
Newspapers could be sent from
London all over the country.
Railway engineering
towns grew up, E.g. Crewe &
Doncaster.
Fish & Chips
Turnpike Trusts, canals & stage
coach companies could not
compete & went bankrupt.
Industry grew, because the railways needed coal & iron;
railways in turn allowed factories to transport their
goods to markets.
Townspeople were able to receive meat,
fish, milk and vegetables brought in whilst they were still fresh by the railways.
First Class Mail
The Post was speeded up

How did railways create more jobs?
How did railways create more jobs?
Railways make the moving of goods
cheaper.
Goods can now be sold for less.
More people can afford to
buy these goods
More goods are sold & so more need to
be produced.
Businessmen employ more workers.
More people with jobs means …
This is called the Cycle of Prosperity
