Hailed by the Sunday Times as "one of the best manmanagers and strategists in the rail business", Richard Browns book is part memoir and part critique. Through the lens of his many, varied roles over a 43 year career, two thirds spent in senior leadership positions, he reflects on the UK rail industrys changing structures and ownerships, analysing what worked and why. He was part of the leadership team which moved British Rails InterCity business into profit in the 1980s, and then led the successful transformation of Eurostar into a high performing railway business in the 2000s. Along the way he provides many fascinating insights into how to win more passengers and improve a railways financial performance. In short, how to organise and run a successful railway. With a career that spanned both public and private sector roles, including membership of the Department for Transports, National Expresss and other rail industry Boards, he offers a unique analysis of the strengths, weaknesses and different cultures of public and private sector organisations. His conclusion offers a clear direction of travel as to how Britains rail industry might best be organised as it prepares to be nationalised again. This is a mustread for todays and tomorrows railway leaders and for anyone interested in the necessary reshaping of the industry.
