Would businesses located within station properties such as M&S, McDonalds, WH Smith, Superdrug, PRET, independent coffee concessions etc have a claim against the railway for ‘loss of profit’ during the current strike especially if it continues?
They pay a premium in rents to be at high footfall locations, so rent is still be paid, staff being paid, energy costs etc yet only serving a handful of customers, losses must be huge.
If so would that be against?
Network Rail? The RMT? Who?
Retailers are having an adverse effect on their businesses through no fault of their own.
As I’ve said before there are casualties of this strike in a number of sectors.
