100 years since the opening of the world's first deep level tube railway is an opportune time to consider the future trends and technical developments of mass transit systems. The papers of an Institute of Mechanical Engineers conference are written by experts in their area and serve as a useful addition to the literature. Particular emphasis is given to strategic planning and financing, technological implications, appraisal techniques and procurement, marketing and inter-modal operations and the shape of urban mass transit in the 21st century.
