答案                             The Railways in Britain
    The success of early railways, such as the lines between big cities, / led to a great increase in railway building in Victorian times. / Between 1835 and 1865 about 25,000 kilometers of track were built, / and over 100 railway companies were created. /
    Railway travel transformed people’s lives. / Trains were first designed to carry goods. / However, a law in the 19th century forced railway companies to run one cheap train a day / which stopped at every station and cost only a penny a mile. / Soon working class passengers found they could afford to travel by rail. / Cheap Day Excursion trains became popular and seaside resorts grew rapidly. /
    The railways also provided thousands of new jobs: / building carriages, running the railways and repairing the track. /
    Railways even changed the time. / The need to run the railways on time meant / that local time was abolished and the clocks showed the same time all over the country. /
