It uses conterfactual analysis to construct an alternative network to represent the most efficient alternative rail network that could have been constructed given what was known at the time - the first time this has been done.
Target group: academics and researchers of Transport History, Economic History, and Management Studies; those involved in transport policy-making and rail enthusiasts.
