Jonathan Bray says the recent timetable meltdown raises a debate about whether the way rail services are provided for in cities needs some far-reaching reform. He argues that if there were any good to have come out of the crisis, it is that it shows how important rail is to cities and opens up a space for some bigger thinking about what kind of rail cities we need for the future, and how best we can make them happen. With all cities wanting to reduce space for motorised traffic in favour of space for people, Bray says it’s difficult to see how you would achieve this without expanding rail networks and their capacity.
