So many things in life become clearer when we have the luxury of looking back at them. Like the big decisions in life that seem so difficult because we can't know the way that the future will unfold. Some people try to evaluate everything carefully before making a big decision whilst others are more intuitive and back their own judgement and what 'feels right'. So is transport planning really scientific or is it an art?

Wouldn't life be so much easier if we had a clearer view of the future?...
