Dear Brett
Official information request for information on fuel consumption
I refer to your official information request dated 18 March 2021, asking:
I would like to know how much diesel the rail services have used each year from when
records were collected to the present date. So that is a record for each year’s usage and not
an average of all-time usage.
The range of data I'm requesting is from as far back as records exist to the present year,
2020. The diesel usage is for all locomotive engines broken down by year.
Please find our response below.
