	Kiev Passenger Railway Station - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The entrance to the modern Southern Vokzal of the Kiev Passenger Railway Station.
		The new railway station's main building was built in 1927-1932 and designed by O. Verbytsky.
		Officially, a "Kyiv-Passazhyrskyi railway station" is regarded as the whole huge complex of passenger terminals, railways, depots etc. with respective personnel.

	Rail transport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Securing railways is often more difficult than for other modes of transport because stations are designed with easy access and high capacity rather than security as their primary goals; most trains make many stops, rendering any sort of passenger screening difficult; and securing the tracks as they run through cities and the countryside is impractical.
		The first railways in Great Britain (also known as wagonways) were built in the early 17th century, mainly for transporting coal from the mine to the water side where it could be loaded on to a boat.
		Railways soon spread throughout the United Kingdom and through the world, and became the dominant means of land transport for nearly a century, until the invention of aircraft and automobiles, which prompted a gradual decline in railways.

	The Swansea and Mumbles Railway - the world's first railway service
		The passengers on the open top decks were deluged in smoke and smuts from the steam locomotive, rendering their "Sunday best" clothes filthy.
		As such, the railway was the subject of inestimable affection and emotional attachment to the Swansea population; it was associated with happy weekends enjoying picnics and concerts by the sea, but it also meant considerably more than this - it was a metaphor for the city's survival.
		But rather than alienating the public to the railway, this endeared it to them more; the tram ride was by now referred to as the "rock and roll to paradise", and a greater attraction than ever.

	Special Passenger Traffic
		Passengers from some of the Scottish stations made a journey of as much as 450 miles in either direction.
		Thus, passengers to King's Cross and Euston have to make their way thence to Wembley, which is served by the L.M.S., Metropolitan, and the L.N.E.R. A second and very intensive special service is thus required between London and Wembley.
		The organisation of a modern railway is extraordinarily flexible, and it must be, otherwise the "house of cards" would continually be in danger of disarrangement.

	Liverpool and Manchester
		The Liverpool and Manchester railway was 31 miles long and consisted of a double line of rails of the fish-bellied type and laid on stone or timber sleepers.
		Passenger trains started at the Crown Street Station in Liverpool and after passing Moorish Arch at Edge Hill terminated at Water Street in Manchester.
		However, when the Northumbrian entered Manchester the passenger carriages were pelted with stones by weavers, who remembered the Duke of Wellington's involvement in the Peterloo Massacre and his strong opposition to the the proposed 1832 Reform Act.
