Rail Delivery Group responds to the latest Passenger Rail Usage report

A spokesperson for the Rail Delivery Group, said: “The past quarter shows us that demand for rail has changed and as an industry we need to move with it. The financial challenge remains stark, as commuter and business travel remain below pre-pandemic levels, but there is a strong demand for leisure travel. If our customers want to travel at the weekend, then we need to reform working practices to ensure we can provide reliable, punctual services when they need it.”
