As with its sister article on the 1830-1922 period, this article lacks any significant analysis of the impact of rail transport on the British economy. It's my opinon that the article won't be broad in its coverage until this area of the topic is dealt with. I would be happy to give recommendations for sources if that would be helpful.

This article has been assessed against the good article criteria. It has failed mainly because of issues surrounding the well written and factually accurate and verifiable criteria.
Well written: Fail.
Factually accurate and verfiable: Fail. This article has far, far too many unsupported claims, making it read very much like original research. Dates, measurements, analysis of events; these all need references. Early rails and Early public railways do not have any references at all.
NPOV: Fail
Breadth: Fail. Some kind of analysis about this period is needed. Is there nothing analytical in your sources, e.g. a conclusion of a chapter on this period?
Stable: Pass.
Pictures: Pass. Chrisfow 01:28, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
This article seems to concentrate too much on the well-known early railways. What about the Bolton and Leigh Railway and the Canterbury and Whitstable Railway, both of which opened before the Liverpool and Manchester? Mjroots ( talk) 14:02, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: No consensus for move after latest oppose !vote. Per Andrewa, no parens are necessary because they are not disambiguations. If the title of the first page is sub-optimal, consider a separate RM on the title ("before 1830"?) ( non-admin closure) — Andy W. ( talk · ctb) 20:04, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
– Parentheses are normally used for disambiguation, rather than concatenating it to the article title. Unsure what the title of the first article should be (when should the period start) Pppery ( talk) 23:18, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
