No.

1) You're too late.
2) You're wrong on the following counts .....

The 1830 railway wasn't the first railway.

In 1830, it didn't go from Liverpool to Manchester.


You can't compare St.Helens with Wigan.
St.Helens, which didn't exist in 1830, is not an individual town. Wigan is an individual town, bearing that name.
St.Helens is a collection of towns, which form St.Helens as a 'borough'.
The railway in question doesn't go through Wigan, correct, but it goes through St.Helens and it also goes through the Borough of Wigan.

The prize was a Kit-Kat, but I've eaten it myself!
