Now available - Book - Managing (Down) The Tube

Managing (Down) The Tube - A Tale of Hard Graft and Shenanigans on the London Underground, by Andrew Melville

This book seeks to describe the practical experiences and gives a political perspective from the view-point of middle and higher managers. It is they who had and have to implement official policies, whist interfacing with other staff and the passengers, who "is the only reason we exist," as Denis Tunnicliffe, a previous MD, put it. They work continually between a rock and a hard place.

If you live in the Eurozone (Republic of Ireland and most of Europe) there is a cheap and easy way to make payments abroad. This is the BIC/IBAN money transfer scheme which all banks must offer as part of the rules of the Euro system. You just have to call into your bank, fill in a form, and the money is transferred. We can give you the reference numbers they require for this if you email or phone us. Once the money has arrived we will send you the goods.
