Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what information her Department holds on the level of retail income received by Network Rail from commercial premises on its estate in 2018-19 and 2022-23.

Network Rail’s retail income in 2018/19 was £135.7m and in 2022/23 it was £107.3m.

Network Rail's retail income is for the 20 stations that Network Rail manage, the other retail income from the remaining stations goes to the Train Operating Company responsible for managing each one.

In 22/23 passenger numbers were gradually recovering but revenue continued to be impacted by changing passenger numbers post-pandemic.
