Abstract

Most studies present in the literature have analyzed local transit networks and their impacts on land values. Empirical studies of the effects of long-distance rail accessibility on real estate prices are relatively rare. The Channel Tunnel Rail Link in England is presented as an example of such impacts. Hedonic price theory is used to estimate the implicit price of each dependent attribute. Ad hoc catchment and control areas have been defined around the St Pancras High Speed station. The main outcome of this analysis is that access to High Speed Rail has an impact on residential property prices, while, with increasing distance from the station, other attributes affect residential property prices.
