The
privatisation and concessioning of railways in some countries and the
commercialisation of railways in others that remain publicly owned
have all been mainstream features of the sector over the last two
decades. Whether in the context of company business
and financial planning, franchise
bids and mobilisation, developing new
railways and services, or simply
engaging marketing specialists as interim
directors and managers, it is vital that
the most is made of the potential to develop railway markets.
