Revealed: How the idea that the Stockton and Darlington line was the 'world's first public railway' is a MYTH (created by a local newspaper journalist)

The Stockton and Darlington line (top right and bottom right) in the North East of England is hailed as 'the first public railway in the world' - a line that kickstarted the global railway revolution. However, it turns out that the idea of the line as a 'revolution' was actually created for cash in 1875 by a local newspaper journalist on a tight book deadline working to a biased brief from a railway company. To help unravel the myth, let's make a stop at the 20-year-old Locomotion rail museum in Shildon, which lies a few miles north of Darlington. It's home to the steam engine (inset) that pulled 27 wagons on the line's opening day in 1825. The main picture shows a 1925 centennial celebration of the railway.
