When were the railways built in England and Wales?
Public passenger railways:
1804 - world's first steam locomotive, Pen-y-Darren, built by the engineer Richard
Trevithick, who is credited with developing high-pressure steam-engines, although primarily for mine pumping & haulage*. The locomotive proved itself on the existing 9.5 mile long Penydarren to Abercynon (south Wales) mine railway, hauling a total of about 25tons of itself and its train of laden wagons + a large number of passengers perched on the loads. Sadly he was not interested in fame & fortune, returned to developing mine engines, and left developing the railways to the Stephensons.
Stockton - Darlington 1825
Liverpool - Manchester (1830): the world's first main intercity public passenger & freight line.
London (Paddington Station) - Bristol completed 1841 - though the whole route was completed & opened in stages from Paddington.
However railways go back long before these, as horse-drawn &/or gravity assisted tramways serving quarries & mines.
*Main Steam-engine Developers - Newcomen's mine pumping-engine (18C) used atmospheric pressure above a partial vacuum in the cylinder. James Watt identified & corrected the primary reason for Newcomen's engine's very low efficiency, and with businessman Matthew Boulton developed the basic machine further into a successful prime-mover for cotton-mills' & other factories' machinery. Trevithick invented the locomotive. The Stephensons developed the railways more than the locomotives.

Can you walk the river thames?
Well, David Walliams swam the River Thames so there isn't anything stopping you. Only he probably got permission from somebody. To swim the river thames, David Walliams ate food with quite alot of calories for energy. Did that answer the question?

Is Liverpool bigger than Manchester?
Manchester is bigger, by a small margin:
Manchester is not bigger by any margin what so ever...take away Salford??
Manchester - population 458,000 - area 44.7 square miles.
Liverpool - population 435,000 - area 43.2 square miles.
From Jim Stevens:
Unfortunately Mancunians tend to include everywhere in Greater Manchester in their calculations (for example Salford which is a city in it's own right). Try LovemyTown.co.uk which provides lists about everything to do with towns and cities in the UK based on the latest census figures. That site will tell you that the CITYof Liverpool's population is 469,017, while that of the CITYof Manchester is 394,269. Liverpool's area is 10,875 hectares compared to Manchester's 10282. I believe that makes Liverpool bigger!
Liverpool is the fourth largest city in the UK and the third largest city in England after Birmingham. Info from Wiki

How long would it take to walk to America from England?
For people in good shape it would probably be reasonable to walk 20 miles a day (with supplies). With about 2,921 miles* from DC to San Francisco, that's about 146 days of walking. Now, if you were to do that, taking a day off a week, that's about 24 weeks and 2 days.
So roughly 6 months.
