ADVANCED COURSES IN: RAILWAY MANAGEMENT, (14/15 OCTOBER 2002) RAILWAY ECONOMICS, (28/29 OCTOBER 2002) AND RAILWAY PLANNING, (11/12 NOVEMBER 2002) AT NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY. At a time when railways are of increasing interest to public transport professionals, these courses aim to give participants a better understanding of the operational and economic basis of the railway industry in the UK and Europe. Key concepts in planning will be linked to current issues and projects, including the Channel Tunnel Rail Link and railway privatisation. The main modelling techniques will be demonstrated with practical examples. Also, the underlying economics behind these examples will be covered, and the management processes required to implement projects whilst continuing to run a fully operational railway. Course Director: Dr. John D. Nelson, University of Newcastle Course Lecturer: Dr. Nigel Harris, The Railway Consultancy All applications, enquiries and course fee details should be directed to Alyson Green, telephone 0191 222 6547 or email [log in to unmask]
