Detailed explanation-1: -When the steam locomotive was invented in the early 19th century, it more than tripled average travel speeds, from 6 mph to 21 mph. Greater London’s growth took off with the building of the city’s suburban rail network and the London Underground.
Detailed explanation-2: -The railways broke down stereotypes and mixed cultures because people from different regions were able to mix more. Political movements spread around the country because members of organisations such as Chartism and the Anti-Corn Law League could travel around the country to drum up support.
Detailed explanation-3: -The steam engine resulted in the creation of semi-automated factories, and it increased goods production in places where water power was not available. In the 1800s, once coal-fired steam engines had been adapted for use with railways and ships, the international trade of goods and resources expanded tremendously.
Detailed explanation-4: -Not only did the railroads transport raw materials used in industrial production, such as coal and iron ore, the railroads were also one of the largest consumers of raw materials in their own right. The growth of railroads thus led to growth in other industries, such as timber and coal.
