Rail Sector
Rail market-led proposals (MLPs) - call for ideas - is the title of a UK Department of Transport (DfT) paper published in March 2018
Railways are capital intensive and funding for infrastructure, rolling stock or efficiency / capacity enhancing equipment and systems would be appreciated by governments world-wide.
There must be schemes which can be win - win, but understanding the numbers involved is a must for the 'promoter' (to use a term from the DfT paper) and more so for government departments. There are continuing projects where government / tax payer risk is not transferred to the private sector and thus good returns are being made by the private sector. Of course why should, or would, the private sector take on risks?
Do have a look at the Network Rail paper.
Whichever side you are on an intimate knowledge of project appraisal is essential. You should carry out "overdue" diligence as in many past projects diligence was indeed long overdue!!
Do get in touch if we can be of assistance.
Whether new or requiring a deeper knowledge we present two courses for Terrapinn:
• 2 Day Masterclass in Rail Project Appraisal
• 3 Day Masterclass in Rail
