The national rail timetable changed three times since March 2021, in May, September and December. The industry sought to improve its passenger service offer and deliver an attractive, reliable and punctual timetable that met passengers’ needs. The changes implemented throughout 2021 increased the number of services that ran, which did not therefore attract cost savings.
