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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47920533700766,"sku":"ING-9781526164056","price":29.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781526164056.jpg?v=1782823244","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781526164056","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
