We’d all find it much more difficult to get around, having to spend more time waiting for buses or rushing to make the right connection. As might be obvious from its title, Gridlock Nation is an assessment of Britain’s acknowledged transport problems, which Kwarteng (along with his coauthor, Jonathan Dupont) attempt to set in some kind of historical context, before proposing solutions.
