Rail transport in the United Kingdom
The
United Kingdom
consists of
Great Britain
and
Northern Ireland
, and previously consisted of
Great Britain and the whole of Ireland
.
Rail transport
systems developed independently on the two
islands
of
Great Britain
and
Ireland
, and most of the railway construction in the
Republic of Ireland
was undertaken before independence in 1922. Thus, the logical division to discuss the history and present-day state of railways in these areas is by geographical division, rather than the political division of nation states.
