Partnership railway’s transformation in numbers Dataset on rail industry finances, performance and investment since 1997-98

December 2017 The economic benefits of rail

The railway is vital to the economic health of the country and is a significant industrial sector in its own right: • Each year the rail industry and its supply chain contributes up to £10.4bn in GVA • Britain’s railway provides benefits to the UK economy of up to £31bn a year, including: benefits to customers as well as companies using freight; reduction of congestion on roads; and wider economic impacts through closer links between businesses and communities. • Investment from both public and private sectors through the partnership railway will secure almost £85bn of additional economic benefits to the country • The railway and its supply chain employ 240,000 people with a further 100,000 job opportunities across the country anticipated by 2027 • The industry has a target to create 20,000 new apprenticeships by 2020, 10,000 of whom will be new recruits from more diverse backgrounds

Highlights from the RDG dataset: • Sustained rise in passenger journeys and freight carried • companies making record contributions to government - industry income covers day-to-day costs and supports investment • Taxpayers paying smaller share of rail costs and customers a larger share – the result of policy of successive governments • Government support to the railway is at its lowest level since 2002-03 and private sector investment at its highest level since being measured • Safety, satisfaction, number of services and fleet size have improved significantly • Delay incidents down but more congested means worse impact on customers • Government spending funds extra capital expenditure to boost capacity and improve services 4 Partnership railway - finances snapshot Analysis of Revenues and Costs

• The £10.5bn of revenue generated by the rail industry now more than covers the day- to-day running costs of the railway (£10.3bn)
