Top Prize for Alex
The first Parsons Brinckerhoff-sponsored Rail Operations prize winner was recently announced at the annual Institute of Railway Operators (IRO) lunch. Alex Hellier, a distance degree course student, was announced as the winner for his essay on dealing with the issues surrounding vertical integration.
The £500 prize was donated by PB for the best essay written by a student reading for an IRO degree or diploma at Glasgow Caledonian University. Students were asked to address the question, ‘Should the ownership of railway infrastructure be separated from the company responsible for running the trains?’
