1886年1月20日: The Mersey Railway Tunnel was officially opened by the Prince of Wales.
Liverpool & Manchester Railway Tunnel Entrance. Edge-Hill: PYNE.
The Mersey Railway connected Liverpool and Birkenhead, England, via the Mersey Railway Tunnel under the River Mersey. Opened in 1886, it was the second oldest urban underground railway network in the world. The railway contained the first tunnel built under the river. It was constructed by John Waddell, who had been sub-contracted the work by Major Samuel Isaac. The Mersey Railway remained independent in the railway grouping of 1923, although it became very closely integrated with the LMS electric services operated over the former Wirral Railway routes from 1938. The Mersey Railway was nationalised, along with most other rail services, in 1948.
