from Tales from the Rails · host Friends of the Stockton & Darlington Railway

Inventing Railway Stations on the S&DR This month we take a close look at how railway stations evolved on the Stockton & Darlington Railway. No such thing had been invented in 1825 when the railway opened, but quickly, the company started to provide facilities that would become the railway station as we know it today. The legacy of this was to ensure that subsequent pioneering railways would be designed with railway stations from the start and for many rural areas in Britain, the railway station run by a stationmaster would be the model adopted. This month’s Star of the S&DR is Percival Tully who managed two of the company’s depots, inherited a pub, briefly brewed and was landlord to another pub and then emigrated to America. In our news this month, Caroline gets cross with the government for failing to help rescue the world’s earliest railway station. That’s got to be worth a listen to!
