Cheap trains. Early in the history of railways the companies were compelled by the (English) Railway Regulation Act, 1844 (7 & 8 Vict. c. 85), sometimes called the Cheap Train Act, to run one train a day at a penny a mile fare; in respect of which trains (ss. 6, 7) termed 'parliamentary trains,' or 'Government trains,' the companies were exempt from the passenger duty otherwise charge-able.
