Speaking to reporters travelling with him in Rwanda, he said: “We’ve got to make the railways run economically for the very benefit of the railway workers themselves and their families.<\/p>\n

“There’s no point having a railway system that’s so uneconomic that you keep having to put ticket prices up and you have to drive more and more people off the railways.<\/p>\n

“You need to modernise.”<\/p>\n

Mr Johnson pointed out that daily passenger numbers on trains in recent months were “down about 25 per cent” compared to numbers before the pandemic.<\/p>\n

He added: “We spent £16billion supporting the railways during the pandemic, that cost each household £600.”<\/p>\n

Mr Johnson rejected accusations the Government wanted to “crush” the unions.<\/p>\n

“I wouldn’t endorse such language,” he said.<\/p>\n

“Look, I think we’ve got to work with the public sector workers.<\/p>\n

“Five million of them are getting a pay rise. We’re going to continue to support the public services.”<\/p>\n
