Abstract
The paper explores the strategic transport planning process which took place in the English Pennines in the early 1990s. The key road and rail transport studies which informed the process are evaluated from a normative perspective, to reveal the assumptions, practices and positions which influenced the development of policy. It is concluded that strategic transport planning initiatives are prone to failure where their mechanisms are unable to take account of the many complex and transient sociopolitical, economic and environmental contexts which envelop the policy process.
