Business strategies for long-distance train operators

Focusing on the liberalization of the European long-distance passenger rail sector, this book presents three generic business strategies for competing train operators. It examines the EU's initiatives to dismantle national railway monopolies and draws parallels with the liberalized airline industry. The analysis is grounded in extensive research from academic and industry sources, supplemented by insights from expert interviews with railway strategists, ensuring a well-rounded perspective on both emerging challengers and established players in the market.
