Abstract
The involvement of the private sector in the funding of large-scale public sector projects has become a feature of Government policy within the United Kingdom. The first such initiative within the railway field has been the u sage contract placed by London Underground Limited (LUL) with the ALSTOM Tr ansport Sector. The implementation and operation of this very large contrac t could well become a model for future projects.
