The End of the Line for British Rail

Peter Curwen

Public Money & Management, 1997, vol. 17, issue 4, 55-67

Abstract: The privatization of British Rail is now effectively complete, although criticisms directed at the outcome are extensive. This article examines the National Audit Office’s work on rail privatization, and looks at problems highlighted by various pressure groups. It is argued that the new system has been going through its teething stages, and that many of the most obvious deficiencies are being addressed. The longer-term outlook is therefore reasonably positive.
