KPMG: How can we work together across the industry to attract customers back to rail?

The UK rail industry continues to grapple with several challenges from shifting travelling patterns accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic to ongoing industrial action. At the same time, rail is a critical component of the transport network, offering an environmentally friendly, fast, and high-capacity travel option. A key question at this critical juncture is how to attract and bring back customers to the railways, to help resolve the ongoing, serious financial challenges.
