All but two train operators either received less subsidy or paid higher premiums to the government during 2014-15 than the year before, according to new data from the Office of Rail and Road (ORR).
The overall amount paid to government by the operators, minus subsidies, leapt up from a net figure of £40m to £802m.
Data released yesterday (August 27) shows a positive trend in the amount of subsidy payments being granted to companies, with Arriva Trains Wales, ScotRail and Northern Rail presenting marked contrasts from previous years.
Arriva Trains Wales received payments equivalent to 8.5p per passenger km, compared with 13.1p in the previous year.
Northern Rail was paid the equivalent of 4.9p per passenger km, down from 7.8p in 2013-14.
ScotRail received 8.6p of subsidy per passenger km compared with 17.5p the previous year and 10.7p in 2012-13. However, it still received the highest subsidy payment of any franchised operator, totalling £261m.
Overall government support to the rail industry amounted to £4.8bn, a decrease of 9% from 2013-14 (or 11% in real terms).
Most of this – £3.8bn – went on ‘direct rail support’: the grant payment to Network Rail. This was partially offset by the £802m of net premium payments received from train operators.
