Everything about Rail Transport In The United Kingdom totally explained
The
United Kingdom consists of
Great Britain and
Northern Ireland, and previously consisted of
Great Britain and the whole of Ireland.
Rail transport systems developed independently on the two
islands of
Great Britain and
Ireland, and most of the railway construction in the
Republic of Ireland was undertaken before independence in
1922. Thus, the logical division to discuss the history and present-day state of railways in these areas is by geographical division, rather than the political division of nation states.
Similarly, for the history of rail transport, rather than the current situation (described in the above articles), see
History of rail transport in Great Britain and
History of rail transport in Ireland. It should be noted however, that the United Kingdom, despite its island geography, runs two separate cross border train services:
Eurostar - Eurostar is the name of both the Train Operating Company (TOC) and the service running passenger services from London to Paris and Brussels through the Channel Tunnel.
Enterprise - Enterprise is the name of the passenger service operated between Belfast and Dublin by Northern Ireland Railways and Iarnród Éireann.
