Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: The aim of this paper is to draw on those aspects of European experience of intercity passenger services that may be of relevance in the U.S. context. We first consider the policy background in Europe. We then discuss factors affecting the demand for intercity travel, with particular reference to high speed trains. Finally, we examine privatisation, concentrating on the experience in Britain which is the one country in Europe actually to have privatised its intercity trains, before reaching our conclusions.
