I must first and foremost thank Richard Gibb and Clive Charlton for all their help and guidance during the writing of this book. The text would not have been completed or even started, given that they secured the necessary research funding from the Department of Geographical Sciences at the University of Plymouth without their exceptional efforts.

I am also grateful to Ian Bailey, Steve Bennett, Mark Cleary, John Farrington, Sir Christopher Foster, Phil Goodwin, Chris Price, Peter White, Christian Wolmar and some in government and the rail industry who must remain anonymous for their comments and advice on various earlier drafts. Their attention to detail and critical appraisal of the work has immeasurably improved its quality, although of course the usual disclaimer still applies.

Brian Rogers, Tim Absalom, Ian Stokes and Jamie Quinn no doubt found my scribbling rather tiresome but still managed to turn it into artwork. Kate Hopewell provided excellent secretarial support.

Thanks to my parents, Richard and Barbara, and also to Tim, Roland, Matt, Mike, James, Tony, Amanda, Dave and Sam, Stu, Shea and some of those already mentioned above for the swift halves not to mention preposterous pub crawls whilst I was researching and writing the book. The warm welcome and encouragement from my new friends and colleagues in Aberdeen helped ensure that the final preparations went smoothly.

Some of of this book have appeared in revised form elsewhere and I am extremely grateful to the copyright holders, PricewaterhouseCoopers and Taylor and Francis, for allowing the partial reproduction of the work.

Finally, very many thanks indeed to the respondents, who agreed to be interviewed at length about their involvement in, and perceptions of, the rail privatisation process. Their insights were invaluable and I hope they are fairly and accurately represented.

BRIAN GRAHAM ANDRICHARD KNOWLES
Series Editors

The inception of this series marks a major resurgence of geographical research into transport and mobility. Reflecting the critical importance of the dynamic relationships between transport and socio-spatial change, this work includes research on:

the impacts of liberalisation, privatisation, competition and globalisation on transport policies, networks and strategies
traffic generation and diversion and the economic impacts of large-scale infrastructure projects such as the Channel Tunnel
the assessment of environmental sustainability concerns about increasing mobility, dispersal of activity sites and the dependence of transport on fossil fuels and its associated air pollution
transport, gender and welfare issues
the relationships between transport and leisure
congestion and capacity constraints in transport systems.

This monograph series complements the international, quarterly research journal, Journal of Transport Geography (launched in 1993) and Modern Transport Geography (eds Brian Hoyle and Richard Knowles, 2nd ed., 1998 on behalf of the TGRG). Together, these three outlets act as a forum for cutting-edge research into transport and mobility, and for innovative and decisive debates on the formulation and repercussions of transport-policy making.
