Royal Railways with Uniform Rates

This 1914 pamphlet presented suggestions for the merger of railways with the general post office and the adoption of uniform ticket fares for any distance in England. The author delivered his opinion on the advantages of State ownership, the difficulties of purchase, and the nationalization of railways. In addition, he proposed the presence of only two kinds of trains that were Main Line Trains and Local Trains. The main line trains would run non-stop for a minimum of 30 miles, and all the trains other than this would be called local trains.
