Any
company considering investing in railways – whether in passenger
train operations, freight
or infrastructure
– needs to fully understand the opportunities and risks associated
with that investment. Whether looking at market
entry for the first time or divesting, it is essential to have
the best possible advice in order to understand the characteristics
of the operation and the market place, short, medium and long term.
Because
of our experience in all facets of running and promoting rail
businesses in the private sector not only is First Class Partnerships
well placed to support the development of company
strategies but can also undertake feasibility
studies or due diligence of an
operational, commercial or technical nature. We have considerable
related expertise in the development of business
and financial plans, demand forecasting
and modelling and a strong track record in negotiating
contracts.

acquisitions, mergers and disposals in several parts of the world
