Head of WSP’s Rail Strategy and Planning team working from our London Chancery Lane office; I have over 12 years’ experience of demand and revenue forecasting, fares changes and competition modelling, crowding analysis and revenue protection strategy.I have strengths in modelling, both in the development of models to “Best Practice” guidelines, and also developing more complex and capable models with interfaces to other applications. Some of my Excel models are now used relatively widely through the UK rail industry, both for internal tracking and reporting, and also for rail franchise bids.My modelling and analysis is not limited to Excel, I also use GIS (Geographical Information Systems) for analysis where appropriate, linking Excel workbooks and analysis to GIS opens a number of options both in terms of what level of analysis can be done quickly, and also ways in which the results can be presented.Specialities:- Rail Demand Modelling- Revenue Forecasting- Fares and Journey time Impact Assessment- Competition Modelling- Crowding Analysis- Performance Modelling- Revenue Protection- Dispute and Negotiation Support- Geo-spatial analysis (GIS)
