Meeting Wednesday 25 March 2026 at 18:00 to 19:30 GMT at Arup
John Dodgson will speak on Rail Freight: what can we learn from ORR statistics?
This presentation will consider the rail freight sector in the light of current ORR statistics on the sector, and in view of measures in the Railways Bill. The speaker will consider the value of these statistics in regard to three main uses, namely understanding of the present position of rail freight given recent trends in the sector, the working of the market for rail freight, and the value of the statistics as a foundation for forecasting the future of the sector and determining the targets which will form a part of the Railways Bill.
John Dodgson retired in 2007 as one of the London Directors of NERA Economic Consulting’s London office and Head of the European Transport and Postal Practices. Before joining NERA in 1997 he had worked at the University of Liverpool as a micro-economist specialising in teaching and researching in transport economics. After retirement he researched in economic history for some years, both on calculating TFP growth in railways in the Victorian and Edwardian eras, and in producing a detailed series of railway statistics in the British Isles from 1842 to 2012.
