‘ New normal’ for railway system
USE OF public transport has declined dramatically as a result of the pandemic, which Barry White says has accelerated an existing trend for people working at home.
And TfN is working on the basis that people may only go into an office two days a week rather than four or five as they currently do when things return to a new normal, meaning people will travel less than before.
He says: “And that has a number of impacts. So it will in the short- term mean a dip in fare revenue, so we will have less money coming into the railway system in the short- term. But what we need to do is say: ‘ Because people are working from home a bit more, how can we use that released capacity, the seats that are now available to people?’”
