Seaside towns developed; the railways made cheap day trips possible People were able to travel greater distances for leisure & to work Turnpike Trusts, canals & stage coach companies could not compete & went bankrupt. Social & Economic Impact of the Railways Railway engineering towns grew up, E.g. Crewe & Doncaster. Townspeople were able to receive meat, fish, milk and vegetables brought in whilst they were still fresh by the railways.
