Also, at that time railway planning was only about connecting big cities. London to Bristol, Liverpool to Manchester etc. Or here:- London to Portmouth. [ edit:- London Southampton of couse] The idea of intermediate stations just didnt figure in their planning.

The Stockton and Darlington was built to connect a lot of independent colleries together for freight. Passengers werent important.
(No change there, then ! )
