It stretched across England from Liverpool and Fleetwood in the west to Goole in the east and served a greater population per mile of route than any other major British railway.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn this history, the result of many years of intensive research, the rail-way is dealt with by geographical areas, so avoiding the confusion in-separable from a chronological approach to a railway two-thirds of whose final mileage was built by separate companies between 1840 and 1850. The history of each area is followed separately from its inception to the present day, and because many of the LYR lines passed through difficult country with an abundance of viaducts, bridges and tunnels, such famous engineers as Jesse Hartley, Thomas Gooch and Sir John Hawkshaw figure prominently in its story.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe entire history of the railway will be completed by a second volume, which will include full accounts of the locomotives, carriage and wagon departments, and the works at Miles Platting, Newton Heath and Horwich, together with chapters on administration and operation.
