## Description

Railway engineer Gareth Dennis advocates for railways as a vital common good, exploring their historical roots and potential for a more equitable and sustainable future.

Review: Fantastic - Great overview of the historical failures in rail policy
Review: The title says it all - Gareth Dennis's book is a powerful polemic promoting a realistic way forward for transport, which is now the biggest source of carbon dioxide emissions. His account is rooted in a clear appreciation of the history of the iron way and a deep understanding of the engineering involved, but it is really accessible for non-experts as well as those who already 'get' the railways. We are assailed on all sides by vociferous proponents of fancy new and unproven technologies, but this book shows all too clearly why tried-and-tested rail transport will be a better way out of our current situation.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy read for the urbanism curious
*by K***R on 11 January 2025*

A powerful manifesto with coherent, followable logic. Where some books are full of academic waffle, this reads more like a podcast - with accessible language that would not alienate someone unfamiliar with railway speak. Anyone who has ever used public transit on a trip to London, Paris, New York and wondered, “why isn’t my town like this? What if it was?”, you should read this book.
