Realizing the New Opportunity for Railways

Résumé du livre

Britain's railway system has a pivotal role in the implementation of the Government's transport policies, which include effective integration with land-use development planning. A higher and more sustained proportion of public funds has already been allocated in order to achieve this role. The structure of the railway industry needs to take these policies into account. The new structure should also reflect general trends in European transport and railway policies. And its operation must be underpinned by a cohesive national system of management training and skills development.
