Tonne-km down 10% in Q1

摘要

Five weeks after ORR released National Rail Trends data on tonnes lifted by freight operators during Quarter 1 of 2009-10, revealing a serious drop of 17.7% year on year (RB1351 p2), information on net tonne-km moved finally became available on October 22.rnIt is tonne-km that RBI normally prefers to use because it provides a better measure of rail's share of the national transport market.
