The London Passenger Transport Board (LPTB) was a unique hybrid
public body accountable only to a small number of stakeholders, yet
it delivered substantial improvements in public services and
provided good working conditions for its employees at the cost of
its investors. London Transport: A Hybrid in History 1905-48
innovatively combines a revisionist historical narrative with a
systematic analysis of quantitative and qualitative research to
explore how and why the LPTB achieved rare popularity amongst its
customers. Divided into three sections, the book explores the
financial operations of the Board, the Board as a system of
governance and the leadership and management within the LPTB. Using
the extensive Transport for London archives, James Fowler conducts
a timely assessment of the public network utility that once made
London transport domestically popular and internationally admired.
With debates about British transport policy ongoing, this book is
an illuminating read for scholars and students researching within
the areas of business management history, transport and public
sector governance and administration.
