Talk:1830 in rail transport

United Kingdom - railways first carrying mail
The development of the railways led to the end of the mail coaches, with railways first carrying mail on 11 November 1830, between Liverpool and Manchester. Other rail lines developed and by the early 1840s many London-based mail coaches were being withdrawn from service. The last regular London based coach service was the London to Norwich, via Newmarket, which ended on 6 January 1846. Mail coaches survived however on services between some provincial towns until the 1850s. Many mail coach guards found continuing Post Office employment as mail guards on the trains. http://postalheritage.org.uk/history/downloads/BPMA_Info_Sheet_MailCoaches_web.pdf
