Haines-Doran argues that the railways should be seen as a social good and an indispensable feature of the national economy. With passengers and railway workers holding governments to account, we could then move past the incessant debates on whether our railways are an unavoidably loss-making business failure. An alternative vision is both possible and affordable, enabling the railways to play an instrumental role in decreasing social inequalities, strengthening the economy and supporting a transition to a sustainable future.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTom Haines-Doran is a political economist specialising in transport systems, infrastructure and social movements.
