Shadow transport secretary Louise Haigh called the payments a ‘scandalous waste of taxpayers’ money’.
Avanti West Coast was handed millions of pounds of taxpayer-funded bonuses for a period in which it was Britain’s worst train operator for delays, Labour Party analysis shows.
This is despite Office of Rail and Road figures showing just 60.1% of stops at stations by Avanti West Coast trains were within a minute of the schedule between April and June 2021 – the worst figure for all operators. “Rather than hold operators to account for shambolic performance, ministers are doling out taxpayer-funded bonuses.“The next Labour Government will bring our railways back into public ownership as contracts expire, ending the Tories’ failing system, and putting passengers back at the heart of our rail network.”
