The Chester and Holyhead Railway was an early railway company conceived to improve transmission of Government dispatches between London and Ireland, as well as ordinary railway objectives. Its construction was hugely expensive, chiefly due to the cost of building the Britannia Tubular Bridge over the Menai Strait. The company had relied on Government support in facilitating the ferry service, and this proved to be uncertain. The company opened its main line throughout in 1850. It relied on the co-operation of other railways to reach London and in 1859 it was absorbed by the London and North Western Railway.

  • Irish Mail è una relazione ferroviaria operante tra Londra (Euston) e Holyhead in coincidenza con il servizio marittimo per Kingstown (Dun Loaghaire)-Dublino. Il nome comparve per la prima volta nel 1848 e si riferiva sia alla relazione notturna che diurna; venne adottato ufficialmente nel 1927. È stato il primo treno della storia della ferrovia a ricevere un nome, sebbene in via non ufficiale. Dal 1947 la relazione diurna venne abolita durante l'inverno e poi in via definitiva. (it)
