| description | The sustainable mobility agenda (Banister, 2008) places a key role on the railways, as this mode provides an efficient form of transport and it encourages a modal switch. With the overriding policy concern about the environmental agenda, rail is considered to have an advantage over other modes of transport (on long distance, inter-city journeys), and promotion of rail transport has become an important element in achieving a (more) sustainable transport system. Indeed, rail is experiencing a renaissance, not only in terms of its appeal to policy makers and transport planners, but more important, in terms of its appeal to travellers. Demand for rail travel is now at record levels. |
