Rail

Train passenger journeys across Britain’s railway in the summer increased by more than a third (36%) in July to September 2021, with 248 million people travelling by rail compared to 182 million in the first quarter of 2021-22.

Simpler ways for passengers to claim compensation for train delays have come a step closer. The Office of Rail and Road (ORR) has now finalised a new licence condition on train companies which they must comply with by next April.

The Office of Rail and Road (ORR) has today published its Rail Industry Finance (UK) 2020-21 report.

London’s Stratford railway station recorded the most passenger entries and exits during a year that saw Britain’s passenger usage drop 78% compared with the previous year. This was the lowest level of journeys seen since at least before 1872 and is a result of the pandemic.

The Office of Rail and Road (ORR) is calling for Network Rail to take action to retain a railway which more reflects the train service performance improvements seen over the pandemic, as more passengers return to the railway.
