Red plaque on the Liverpool Road Station building, Castlefield, Manchester, England, UK. Now the Museum of Science & Industry.
Manchester Liverpool Road is a former railway station on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway in Manchester, England, which opened on 15 September 1830. The L&MR station was the terminus of the world's first inter-city passenger railway in which all services were hauled by timetabled steam locomotives. It is now the world's oldest surviving terminal railway station. The station closed to passenger services on 4 May 1844 when the line was extended to join the Manchester and Leeds Railway at Hunt's Bank. Liverpool Road was superseded by Manchester Victoria railway station. Since Liverpool Road ceased operation, the oldest railway station still in use is Earlestown railway station at Newton-le-Willows which also opened on 15 September 1830. The station, which is a Grade I listed building, is now part of the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester.
