This book tells a story of privatisation on the London Underground. The 'Public - Private Partnership' was announced by New Labour in 1998, imposed in 2003, and by 2010 had failed. What went wrong?
Published during London Underground’s 150th birthday year, the book draws extensively on interviews with managers and Tube workers. It both sketches the history of the Underground and looks to the future. We need a better plan for transport - a socialist policy that involves passengers and workers and prioritises public service.
