Where does my pound go?

« on: January 23, 2020, 08:35:14 »

If I spend a pound on a train ticket, where does my money end up?

Pie chart drawn from data at last night's Melksham Rail User Group meeting - fares presentation and discussions with Guy Watts of GWR^▸ . Such a useful evening we had to put more chairs out, and time ran out too ...

A couple of footnotes -
* "Staffing" was described as rail industry staffing - so I think that includes signallers
* "Track Maintenance" includes signalling and day to day Network Rail cost
* Investment cannot be (just) GWR direct - I suspect that includes money to HMG reinvested into rail
Lots more I could question "where does xxxx fall" but it gives a general idea
