The interstate freight market is
experiencing modest growth as the
Australian economy transitions from
the mining construction boom to a
broader market base. While traffic
on the East West corridor has been
flat, this has been slightly offset by
increased volumes on the North South
corridor. The structural changes in
the economy do present a challenge
to some of our customers. We are
committed to working with all of
our customers to find further
opportunities for rail.
We are confident in future growth and this
has been supported by our strong service
performance and maintaining the reliability
gains achieved in the previous financial
year. We have also further strengthened
our business development resources and
are engaging with the wider supply chain
to develop and deliver new offerings.
