<P> In 1830 the Liverpool and Manchester Railway opened . This set the pattern for modern railways . It was the world 's first inter-city passenger railway and the first to have ' scheduled ' services , terminal stations and services as we know them today . The railways carried freight and passengers with also the world 's first goods terminal station at the Park Lane railway goods station at Liverpool 's south docks , accessed by the 1.26 mile Wapping Tunnel . In 1836 , at the Liverpool end the line was extended to Lime Street Station in Liverpool 's city centre via a 1.1 mile long tunnel . </P>
