Reviews
To this chronicle, Dr Gourvish adds thoughtful and persuasive evaluations, well grounded in business organisation and economic theory. This is an extraordinary resource for scholars in business and transport history., If you want to understand how British Rail was shaped as an organisation and business in the 20 or so years before privatisation, this is the book to read., 'The Channel Tunnel is only one of many fascinating topics discussed inthe book. Other key topics include the burying of the highly critical SerpellReport, the demise of the Advanced Passenger Train, the response to the Claphamaccident of 1988, the branding and marketing of the InterCity network andNetwork South East, the development of provincial commuter lines, and the saleof ancilliary businesses, such as railway workshops.'Business History, "In British Rail , Gourvish has produced an excellent study of privitization...[T]here is much to keep the economist and the political scientist engaged. It is also a useful account of how technology is embedded within an organizational structure, and one hopes that historians of technology will be able to follow up on his work."-- Technology and Culture, 'The Channel Tunnel is only one of many fascinating topics discussed in the book.

The book will be a definitive scholarly source of reference for decades to come., 'The Channel Tunnel is only one of many fascinating topics discussed in the book.

Its length and detail constitute a rare, thorough, and largely unbiased examination of policy formulation over an extended period for a major national railway system., "In British Rail, Gourvish has produced an excellent study of privitization...[T]here is much to keep the economist and the political scientist engaged.

It is Gourvish's analysis of the issues that gives the book its special interest and authority.

Synopsis
This book, written by Britain's leading railway historian, provides an authoritative account of the progress made by British Rail prior to privatisation and a unique insight into its difficult role in the government's privatisation planning from 1989. Based on privileged access to the British Railway Board's rich archives, Terry Gourvish presents a comprehensive analysis which traces the external pressures on British Rail and its own changing internal organization between 1974 and 1997., Based on privileged access to the British Railway Board's rich archives, this book provides and authoritative account of the progress made by the British Railway System prior to its privatization. It offers a unique account of the last fifteen years of nationalized railways in Britain, and it sheds light on the current problems of privatized railway systems. This volume is divided into four complete and concise sections for complete study: 'Railways Under Labour (1974-1979)', 'The Thatcher Revolution (British Rail in the 1980's)', 'On The Threshold of Privatization: Running the Railways (1990-1994)', and 'Responding to Privatization (1981-1997)'. Author Terry Gourvish is considered Britain's leading railway historian., Britain's privatised railways continure to provoke debate about the organisation, financing, and development of the railway system. This important book, written by Britain's leading railway historian, provides an authoritative account of the progress made by British Rail prior to privatisation, and a unique insight into its difficult role in the government's privatisation planning from 1989. Based on free access to the British Railway Board's rich archives, the book provides a comprehensive analysis of the main themes: a process of continuous organisational change; the existence of a persistent government audit; perennial investment restraints; the directive to reduce operating costs and improve productivity; a concern with financial performance, technological change, service quality, and the management of industrial relations; and the Board's ambiguous position as the Conservative government pressed home its privatisation programme. The introduction of sector management from 1982 and the 'Organising for Quality' initiative of the early 1990s, the Serpell Report on railway finances of 1983, the sale of the subsidiary businesses, the large-scale investment in the Channel Tunnel, and the obsession with safety which followed the Clapham accident of 1988, are all examined in depth. In the conclusion, the author reviews the successes and failures of the public sector, rehearses the arguments for and against integration in the railway industry, and contrasts what many have termed 'the golden age' of the mid-late 1980s, when the British Rail-government relationship was arguably at its most effective, with what has happened since 1994.
