Abstract
The paper by Adamson, Jones and Pratt comes at an appropriate time as there is considerable interest in railways as a possible candidate for privatisation. Already in the transport sector, ports, the National Freight Corporation, British Airways, the former British Airways Authority (now BAA), and the National Bus Company have been sold into private ownership.
John Rickard was speaking in a personal capacity and not as the Chief Economic Adviser of the Department of Transport. His comments do not necessarily reflect the views of the Department.
