Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the complex and often rocky relationship between British railway companies and the traders who rely on them for their livelihoods. From the very beginning, the author reveals problems arising from the earliest days of rail travel. These issues were, in part, due to Parliament consistently rejecting well-intentioned acts meant to regulate the industry. In the author's opinion, judges have demonstrated a distinct lack of willingness to apply these regulations as intended. In many cases, the rulings actually seem designed to undermine legislative intent. As a result, railway companies have repeatedly evaded rules designed to ensure fairness for all parties. The author's meticulous research uncovers blatant and consistent legal maneuvering by railway companies that has resulted in their gaining an unfair advantage over traders for decades.
