Today's trip to Liverpool and back for a work meeting seemed like a journey through railway history.

There were memorials to train disasters, and plaques to heroes that had prevented train disasters. My destination was Broad Green station in Liverpool, and there is a fine commemoration of Stephenson's rocket, which enabled the first inter-city train service in the world, between Manchester and Liverpool.

This wall map is at Victoria station in Manchester, one of eight different stations that I got on or off trains at during the course of the day. I've spent a good portion of my adult life traipsing around these tracks. And quite progressive of a Lancastrian station to even acknowledge the existence of Yorkshire.

Rail - the only way to travel.

Definitely one to view large, and if you do, you'll find the gentleman on the right is immersed in what @earthdreamer has called phoneworld.
