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

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
