Chiltern Railways

Book Description

The transport executive who led the successful privatization of Chiltern Railways offers an inside look at the process and the company''s team dynamic. In this book, Adrian Shooter provides rare insight into one of the greatest successes in British Rail privatization. He discusses his strategic approach to the managed buyout of Chiltern Railways, as well as many of the ''behind the scenes'' jobs which are essential to keeping the operation running.
