Acknowledgements

There are many, many people I should thank: the following are only a few.

Erica Cervini has lived with my transport activism and research, and has helped keep me sane while somehow managing to stay sane herself. My fellow campaigners at the Public Transport Users Association have been an inspiration for years: I cant name you all, but I do wish to specifically thank John McPherson. Fr Joseph Vnuk OP has also been a source of encouragement, and edited the manuscript with his customary terrifying thoroughness. Penny Slasher Hanley also kindly looked over the whole book for me.
