bill937ca Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Here`s the oldest commuter railway in the world. The Tyne and Wear Metro runs along the route of the Newcastle and North Shields Railway dating from 1839. Most of the embankments used are original. http://www.nexus.org.uk/news/2011/oldest-commuter-railway-world http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyne_and_Wear_Metro 1 Link to comment
