Proposes a radical re-think of how we view our railways as a population and government.
Few would disagree that Britain's railways are broken, and have been for a long time. This insightful new book calls for a radical rethink of how we view the railways and explains the problems we face and how to fix them. Haines-Doran argues that the railways should be seen as a social good and an indispensable feature of the national economy. We would then avoid the incessant debates on whether they are a business failure and whether they can be anything other than loss-making.
The book gives an overview of the main questions that rail users frequently ask: why don't trains run on time? Why are fares so expensive? Why are there so many strikes? Haines-Doran offers clear explanation of the roots of these problems and how the system can be fixed so it can be a true service to us all.
