Michael Kill CEO NTIA says:
“The announcement today of further strike action during the festive period will be catastrophic, and will inevitably have a knock on effect on service either side of the key holiday period.These sporadic weekly or daily planned strikes are eating into consumer confidence, leaving many concerned about travelling.”
“Our industry is already suffering heavily from rising costs, as inflation reaches a 40 year high, consumer disposable income is at an all time low, coupled with rail strike action feel we are revisiting Christmas 2021.”
“This year more than any other, we are heavily reliant on this period to get through Q1 2023.”
