Autumn storms cost railway £21 million in lost revenue
- Extreme weather, which disrupted train journeys last autumn, meant the railways missed out on an estimated £21 million revenue in the three months to December – according to the Great British Railways Transition Team (GBRTT).
- Despite this, total rail passenger revenue was still up slightly (+1%) compared to the three months prior. That’s because, although rolling overtime bans had an impact, fewer strikes helped to offset the loss of revenue from the storms.
- Business trips were down 6% on the previous quarter, in an unusual twist for the season, suggesting business travellers were most put off by weather disruption.
