Manchester-Liverpool+Road+railway+station

Museum of Science and Industry or simply MOSI is the largest museum in Manchester. Amongst others, it houses an entire railway station. It is the Manchester-Liverpool Road railway station which opened in 1830. Obviously, it no longer functions as such. It is still worthwhile a visit. In fact, this railway connection between Manchester and Livepool was the very first inter-city passenger railway in the world in which steam locomotives hauled all carriages. It is today the world's oldest surviving terminal railway station. One again, Manchester was ahead of its time in terms of industrial development. The globalisation had begun.
