In medieval times people mostly travelled on foot or horseback and any form of transportation was mainly for moving goods.

    The first railways were laid down in the seventeenth and eighteenth century for horse drawn trains of wagons in collieries and quarries. These ‘hauling ways’ initially had a surface of stone slabs or timber baulks, which soon proved unsatisfactory as the loads carried inevitably grew heavier.
