One‐man‐operated—running an information unit for management in the public transport industry

As one of a small number of information people in Britain's public transport industry, the author feels that he has made innovations in the investigative outlook that he has introduced to his work. Following a general introduction to GMPTE he mentions some aspects of this work—such as arranging contacts, compiling surveys and co‐ordinating ad hoc investigations. He concludes by speculating on what the future might hold for a one‐man band information field‐worker like himself; the information unit itself may become an unstaffed DIY contact point, run on basic principles anyone can use.
