Go-Ahead hindered by UK rail

The future of UK rail franchises will become clearer for the transport operator following an industry review
September 5, 2019

The loss of the London Midland franchise – which concluded at the end of 2017 â€“ took a chunk out of Go-Ahead’s (GOG) pre-tax profits last year. That, combined with the cost of a settlement with the Department for Transport over service failures, offset rising passenger revenue at the Southeastern and Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) franchises and meant rail operating profit fell more than a third.
