West Coast Railway Company

The West Coast Railway Company was a British railway operator that managed passenger train services in northwest England and parts of North Wales from 1860 to 1866. It was established to run trains on specific routes, primarily between Liverpool and Manchester, and later expanded its services. The company was part of the broader railway development during the industrial revolution, aiming to improve transportation for passengers and freight. However, due to financial difficulties and competition, it was eventually absorbed into larger rail companies, such as the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, shaping the consolidation of the railway industry.
