Work on lines causes train delays
Due to an economically driven decline in demand, the Swedish railfreight operator saw its transport volumes drop by 10% in Q3/2023 compared to Q3/2022. Despite the weak business climate, Green Cargo was able to sign new transport contracts worth SEK 150 million (EUR 12.7 million) in the reporting period.
85.9% of the trains ran on time, which is slightly better than the 83.5% in Q3/2022. However, more trains are likely to be delayed in the future, as there will be more obstructions on the Swedish network due to track works. The transport safety index was 95.1%. Green Cargo said that the poor result was due to many minor and one serious accident. (ben)
