Excerpt from The Fixing of Rates and Fares: A Series of Evening Lectures to Students Given at the Victoria University Manchester
I must not dream of entering here upon any detailed treatment of the theory of rates I was tempted to refer to it because Mr Marriott's lectures are a paved approach to it I must be satisfied now to leave the reader With the idea that there is here a problem which does not carry its solution on its face, especially as I feel drawn to skirt With our author another problem, namely that of control.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive and insightful exploration of railway charges in Great Britain, delving into the intricate system of rates and fares that governed the transport of goods and passengers. The author traces the development of railway charging from its early origins, when trains were viewed as simply improved roads, to the complex system of classifications and maximum rates that emerged in the late 19th century. The book examines the historical context of railway development and the various legal frameworks that shaped the industry, including the landmark Railway and Canal Traffic Act of 1888, which established a new system of maximum rates and charges. The author delves into the intricacies of classifying goods and determining appropriate charges based on factors such as value, bulk, and susceptibility to damage. The book also explores the ongoing debates between railway companies and traders over fair charges and the role of the state in regulating the industry. The author sheds light on the complexities of rate-setting, highlighting the need for a nuanced understanding of railway costs and local business conditions. The book ultimately reveals the delicate balance between the need for efficient and competitive railway services and the broader interests of the community, leaving readers with a deeper understanding of the historical and economic forces that have shaped the industry.
