UK Strikes affect latest rail freight figures

The latest figures from the Office of Rail and Road say that the long-running disputes in the railway industry have affected the volumes and performance in the rail freight sector. This comes despite the sector being largely uninvolved in the major disputes over pay, conditions and job security. Nevertheless, rail freight has been impeded by strikes in other part of the industry which have frequently brought the network to a standstill, and seem no nearer to resolution.
