Transport Policy In Britain

Transport has remained high on the British political agenda as gridlock on the roads and the aftershocks of rail privatization have forced continual modifications and developments in the approach of the Labour government, which came to office in 1997, and pledged to establish an integrated transport policy.

This comprehensively revised and updated new edition of the leading text in the field provides full coverage of the historical, political and European context of British transport policy, of the new financial and regulatory regimes of the Twenty-first century and of the impact of such major new initiatives as London's congestion charge.

Review: Review of first edition 'Very comprehensive...balanced and objective... a lucid account of policy development from the Thatcher years of privatization and deregulation to New Labour's ambitions for transport integration.' - Barry Moore, Landscape Design
