The use of travel time by rail passengers in Great Britain
Lyons, Jain and Holley examine the idea that travel time can have positive value instead of being wasted, which questions the assumed economic benefits of schemes that cut journey times. The paper reports a national mail-back questionnaire survey of over twenty-six thousand rail passengers in Great Britain, conducted in autumn two thousand and four, on how they use their travel time.
