On his notice, the Managing Director, Will Rogers, also mentioned that EMR and the rail industry have continued to react to the changing railway landscape post-covid and, when considering timetable changes, have looked at several factors, including the allocation of necessary funding, maintaining levels of performance (punctuality) and operational feasibility.
