The first Castlefield railway The Liverpool and Manchester Railway, the first passenger railway station in the world, opened in 1830. The line was a great success; in 1831 over 445,000 people travelled on it. The new railway ended at Liverpool Road Station. This was a passenger station only until 1844, when Hunts Bank, now Victoria Station, came into use. Liverpool Road was then used as a goods station until it finally closed in 1975. Today it houses the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester.
