In Appreciation of Mr. John Diandas, FCA, honFCIT
Mr John Diandas universally known as “ Mr Transport” passed away recently. ... Mr Diandas was the perfect professional with a humane heart who stood by his principles throughout his life.
Mr John Diandas’s versatility was such that though his principal vocation was Accountancy, being a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants and a Senior Partner of a leading Accountancy Firm, he functioned as an Independent Transport Consultant, carrying our various assignments in Sri Lanka as well in other countries, particularly in the West. We are proud of the fact that Mr Diandas’s services were availed of by leading Consultancy Firms in London to investigate and report on Light Rail (LR) Systems, create database for Light Rail Transit (LRT) proposals in British cities and extended study of LR in British cities. ...
In Sri Lanka, no major study or project related to Transport was complete without inputs from Mr Diandas. ... Mr Diandas, when entrusted with a task put in his heart and soul into it and never rested until it was completed to the satisfaction of all concerned. ... The Chartered Institute of Transport is ever grateful to Mr Diandas for donating this treasure house of knowledge to CIT in his last will, to enable members and others to continue to use them and also enhance the collection for posterity. ... The present generation of academics, professionals and experts on transport should always be grateful to Mr. Diandas for his pioneering efforts.
The creation of the CTB in 1958 gave Mr Diandas a golden opportunity to put his ideas on improving the bus industry in-to practice.
