Abstract
Introduction:
Very few authors in the literature have dealt with the issue of social exclusion related to HSR systems.
Methods:
A Revealed Preference survey has been delivered to English users of transport systems for long distances journeys in order to investigate their perception of HSR-related social exclusion.
Results:
The main result of the survey is that a relationship between social exclusion and HSR in England is evident, especially in terms of economic and geographical exclusion.
Keywords: Social exclusion, High speed rail, Revealed preference survey, Economic exclusion, Geographical exclusion, High speed one.
