Abstract
This book has reviewed the sustainability of rail engineering and operations with respect to both existing assets and new build in terms of the three pillars of economic, social and environmental sustainability. It is argued that the composition of a sustainable railway is well understood, but there are practical issues with delivery. These issues may be overcome with an emphasis on infrastructure provision, finance (and funding), top-down governance and bottom-up participation.
