12. Civil Engineering in Surface Transport Some conclusions: -Useful insight. -Roles are not all just technical. -There’s some pretty interesting things going on in Surface Transport! Questions to think about: -Project Horizon – fundamentally how different is a civil engineers role in Surface Transport, LU and London Rail? - Was Lord Sugar in a recent episode of The Apprentice, right to say “I have never yet come across an engineer that can turn his hand to business”???!
