This paper reports the findings of an economic evaluation of fares regulation options for Britain's railways. The evaluation is based on the development of an econometric demand model based on a large scale survey of passenger preferences. The model was applied to comprehensive case study...

Previous works have established synonymity between the notions of uncertainty and unreliability, exploiting this in deriving marginal valuations of travel time and scheduling under uncertainty. Whilst valid for forecasting demand, such valuations fail to illuminate the costs of bearing...

To date, forecasts of the demand impacts of lateness and reliability have been derived largely from individual-level models taken at a snapshot in time. The contribution of this paper is to develop a dynamic model of rail demand at the market-level, yielding short and long-run elasticities with...
