“Continuing industrial disputes, a trio of terrorist incidents in both London and Manchester and ongoing disruption from major engineering works all contributed to the negative trends in rail demand during the April to June quarter,” comments Chris Cheek. He continues: “The jury is still out on whether the railways are – like the buses – falling victim to economic uncertainty, fear of terrorism and massive technological change. Or whether the industry is in reality continuing to suffer from the self-inflicted wounds of disruption, bad industrial relations and poor performance. The answer probably lies somewhere in the middle.”
