Detailed Solution

The number of workers in the transport sector doubled in the 1840s.
The industrial revolution started in Britain in the middle of the eighteenth century. It was characterised by many salient features like land resources, capital, and labour mostly related to the land. All these resources were easily accessible in Britain and helped in processes for production. However, after the 1840s, construction activities increased in the cities in Britain. It led to the industries' growth and opened new employment opportunities. Hence roads were widened, tunnels dug, new railway stations came up, and railway lines were extended. Eventually, the number of workers employed in the transport industry doubled in the 1840s.
