Mid	This article has been rated as Mid-importance on the project's importance scale.

The route diagram template for this article can be found in Template:Chester and Holyhead Railway RDT.

The article states, without references: "a mail coach operated almost daily from London to Holyhead, taking 45 hours to make the journey." I think the distance is something like 250 miles these days but would have been a lot more circuitous in the era of the post coach. At the present day if that distance is still the same as I recall, that pace would have required about 5 mph non-stop. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mail_coach#Travel says that no only was this possible (again without references) but was accomplished at night. This is ridiculously unbelievable.
