Train Travel Payment Practices Decline by 5 Points in 2024

The Comparison

• 2023: Seven train travel companies were assessed, achieving an average payment practice score of 67.5 out of 100.
• 2024: Nine train travel companies were assessed, with their average score dropping to 62.5 out of 100.

What This Means

While the sample size increased in 2024, the overall trend indicates a slight deterioration in payment performance within the train travel sector. Although a 5-point decline isn’t drastic, it suggests a potentially emerging pressure on cash flow or a shift in prioritization among the assessed companies, which could mean those companies may be experiencing difficulty in paying invoices on time. Businesses facing overdue payments may find assistance using a late payment calculator.

In 2024, 9 companies' average score declined to 62.5, from an average of 67.5 among 7 companies in 2023.
