First published in 1999, this book contains case studies of rail transport policy-making in two UK Passenger Transport Authority areas and reviews the factors informing such policy-making. It contributes to transport geography by explaining why the actual policies implemented in Starthclyde and Merseyside were pursued, and to the continuing development of the political science theory of `the urban policy regime' by analysing the differences in policy development attributable to the different `city-regional' (Strathclyde) and `public choice' (Merseyside) geographical structures of local governance. The book demonstrates that these differences in the spatial organisation of local institutions play a powerful role in determining the operation of the local `regime' of policy-makers, the form of final policy outputs, and the level of public accountability achieved.
