While the COVID-19 pandemic is causing an undeniable impact upon the Australian economy, the rail industry is continuing to play its vital part in moving people and goods around Australia.
During these times, Rail Express will continue to deliver timely news and industry insights to our audience of rail professionals. Rail Express is the only publication dedicated to the rail industry that is publishing daily briefs as the story evolves. Our email newsletter database and online page views have been experiencing substantial growth over the past months, and we will endeavour to ensure that they continue to do so, even as disruption occurs.
Already, we have seen significant interest in how the rail industry will continue to be the lifeblood of Australia’s logistics supply chain. We have spoken with our key industry associations and partner organisations to understand that in fact, the demand for key rail services, particularly in the freight sector, is growing, with the resulting need for suppliers of equipment and services to continue to engage with the industry.
In addition, the growing government stimulus packages have a direct impact upon organisations working in the rail industry, many of whom are looking for the stimulus to go further so they can continue to meet the demand for mobility.
Finally, when the initial impacts of the virus subside, the rail industry will be continuing to grow as infrastructure spending is adopted by governments as a way to kickstart the economy.
More than ever, Rail Express is the resource that the Australasian rail industry turns to. The publication is continuing to grow in both print and online to meet the needs of the sector’s growth as a whole.
