Mersey Railway Biography Biography
The Mersey Railway opened in 1886, connecting Liverpool, Birkenhead, and the Wirral Peninsula in England. It is the world's oldest underground railway outside London. Due to pollution in the Mersey tunnel, many passengers preferred the ferries, and the railway was bankrupt by 1900. It recovered in 1903 with the adoption of electric traction, and remained independent until nationalisation in 1948.
