Strikes hit GTR revenue

摘要

Passenger revenue at Govia Thameslink Railway is expected to fall by 4% in the six months to December 31 2016, according to a pre-close trading statement issued by The Go-Ahead Group pic last month. A 2% decline in passenger-journeys at GTR is also forecast. 'GTR services continue to be heavily impacted by industrial action', said Go-Ahead. The company reported that discussions were ongoing with DfT 'regarding our contractual claims relating to the R1V1T industrial action'. Subsequent claims are to be submitted in respect of industrial action being taken by ASLEF (p8).
