"This book outlines the political and implementation questions
relating to transport policy delivery in the UK. Despite good
intentions and a radical policy agenda this book reveals the Labour
Government has failed to reduce the need to travel and to improve
travel choice. Society has become more car dependent, levels of
congestion and unreliability have increased, and the goal of
sustainable transport has disappeared. The contributors to this
book systematically document and assess the record of the
Government on transport over the last six years."
--David Banister, University College London
"This book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in
UK transport policy. It debunks, in forensic detail, the myth that
the government has a coherent strategy for transport."
--Christian Wolmar, author of Broke Rails – How
Privatisation Wrecked Britain’s Railways
"This book is valuable not only to transport geographers and the growing literature on sustainable transport, but to anyone interested in how government promises fail to come to fruition." (The Geographical Journal)
