1853: Liverpool, Crosby and Southport Railway
9.209 The Liverpool, Crosby and Southport Railway opened its first stretch of line
(commencing from Liverpool) in July 1848, and by August 1851 the line had
reached Southport. 411
9.210 Three local Acts straddling the period 1847 to 1850 were already in place to
facilitate the railway’s operation. By 1853 legislation was required to regulate the
tolls and charges for traffic on the different sections of railway line. The Liverpool,
Crosby, and Southport Railway Amendment Act 1853 412 restricted passenger
fares by class of travel and destination, required the Southport Railway to run
daily passenger services between Liverpool and Southport (at a frequency to be
determined ultimately by the Board of Trade), and required the railway company
to pay a proportion of its gross receipts to its two partner railway companies 413
when using the joint line between Liverpool and Hightown and beyond. The
company had also to apply the statutory charging provisions to its new branch
line between Ainsdale and Halsall. 414
