The first locomotive steam engine was built by Richard Trevithick and ran in 1804 at Pen-y-Darren in South Wales.

The first public, passenger-carrying railway was opened in 1825 between Stockton and Darlington in north-east England, built and operated by George Stephenson.

The first train to carry mail ran on the Liverpool & Manchester Railway in 1830, and the first Travelling Post Office operated on the London & Birmingham Railway in 1837.

Electric rail transport appeared around 1880 with the first electric trams and by 1890, the London Underground had its first electric train.

The first diesel trains appeared in the 1920s in mainland Europe.

The first high-speed diesel train was the German 'Flying Hamburger' of the 1930s which could travel at 100mph.
