Abstract
That statement is a succinct account of what this book is about. But behind those 20 words lies a fascinating story with the, sometimes nail-biting, truth every bit as exciting as fiction could be.
The National Freight Consortium is the product of a long line of decisions by politicians, railwaymen, businessmen, and ordinary people.
First sentence of a paper delivered by Philip
Mayo, Director of Legal Services, National
Freight Consortium p.l.c., to Industrial
Society conference, June 17, 1982.
