Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications

Iarnród Éireann: Chairman Designate

10:40 am

Mr. Philip Gaffney:

I do not have detailed benchmarking for that. I am aware from a very small review of certain railways with which I am familiar that the cost per kilometre, which is the standard way of measuring it, compares very favourably with most networks; particularly in terms of cost per train kilometre, we are very efficient. In terms of cost per train kilometre, we are certainly in the top half in terms of efficiency.
