ORR updates industry financials

摘要

Rail industry financial information for 2012-13 published by ORR last month shows that net government subsidy was £4bn, representing 31% of the industry's total income. Adjusted for inflation this was 4-2% down on the previous year. The principal individual sources of subsidy were DfT (£2·8bn), Transport Scotland (£0·7bn) and the Welsh Government (£0·1 bn). TfL, the PTEs and 'other' accounted for £0·4bn. Passenger income increased year on year by 3·6% to £7·7bn, with passenger-journeys up 2·9°/o. Unregulated fares represented two- thirds of income.
