HC Deb 05 February 1968 vol 758 c17W
Mr. Gwynfor Evans

asked the Minister of Transport what financial loss per mile is suffered on railways in the United Kingdom, in England, and in Wales, respectively.

Mr. John Morris

In 1966, the average loss including interest, per route mile, for Great Britain as a whole, was approximately £9,500. An average figure, of course, obscures the wide differences in the circumstances of operation and in profitability of different lines.

Figures for the United Kingdom, and for England and Wales separately are not available.
