Information

he Liverpool & Manchester Railway opened to much fanfare on 15th September 1830. So much so that a new station had to be built to satisfy passenger numbers and to plan for the ongoing #rail fever#.

Liverpool Road Station saw passengers booking tickets and awaiting their train#s arrival. Passengers were separated into first and second class and had different booking halls and waiting rooms.

Second-class passengers were transported in carriages with low wooden sides and a small canopy to shelter them from the elements. They were also in slower trains compared to their first-class counterparts who had a more luxurious travel experience.

While travelling in a second-class train, there was a #stopping# service where passengers could request to stop at an intermediate second-class station, whereas first-class passengers experienced a non-stop service between Liverpool and Manchester.

Requests had to be pre-booked so the crew knew where to halt the train. Selling alcohol and food was forbidden at the second-class stations so if passengers wanted refreshments, they would have to travel via first class. These trains stopped at first-class stations with incorporated refreshment rooms.

The second-class open-topped coach model sports an L&MR brown livery. The accessory bag contains two chain couplings.
