ADVANCED COURSES IN: RAILWAY MANAGEMENT, (11/12 OCTOBER 1999) RAILWAY ECONOMICS, (25/26 OCTOBER 1999) AND RAILWAY PLANNING, (8/9 NOVEMBER 1999) 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.
