Reviews for Changing Trains: Railway Reform and the Role of Competition: The Experience of Six Countries

'...easy to read...policy makers around the world will more than likely have to re-evaluate their rail strategies sooner or later and van de Velde's book will provide some useful background material to assist them. Indeed, books such as van de Velde's are important precisely for that reason...they make such a task easier for others by providing some of the information needed to accomplish it.'
