Railways came to Britain in the early 19th century primarily to facilitate the transportation of goods and raw materials, particularly coal from mines to industrial centers. The rapid industrialization during the Industrial Revolution created a need for efficient transport systems to support economic growth. Additionally, the expansion of railways improved passenger travel, connecting cities and enhancing mobility for the workforce. This innovation ultimately transformed Britain's economy and societal structure.
