Ten Years After The First Commercial Train Service Began Operating Between Liverpool And Manchester, In 1830, The First Train Timetable Was Issued. The Trains Were Much Faster Than The Old Carriages, So The Quirky Differences In Local Hours Became A Severe Nuisance.

More And More Institutions Followed The Lead Of The Train Companies. Finally, In 1880, The British Government Took The Unprecedented Step Of Legislating That All Timetables In Britain Must Follow Greenwich.
