abstract |
In 1995 the author of this paper undertook a scenario exercise for British Rail to
identify priorities for rail science and technology developments under the new privatised
regime. Four marketbased 2010 scenarios were developed for UK rail transport: 1) cost
driven; 2) quality driven, 3)technology driven and 4) environmentally driven. These
helped to identify areas of strategic R&D that were needed to improve rail’s competitiveness.
It is now over a decade since this scenario exercise took place. This paper, updating
an earlier review (Potter and Roy, 2000), revisits the 1995 scenarios and compares
them to what actual market strategies emerged within the privatised railway industry.
It explores whether the four scenarios did succeed in capturing the range of market
responses that emerged from rail privatisation and what lessons this contains for
the use of scenarios transport research. |
