A reduction in average delay of one hour is worth five to six times more to users of railway freight than a corresponding reduction in regular transport time. The value of transport time savings is however also considerably higher than those currently used for cost-benefit analysis in Norway. Most railway customers show more interest in a later departure than an earlier arrival of the freight train. Consolidated goods imply higher values of transport time and delays than other goods. The most common consequences of delays are loss of reputation and additional costs for transport to the destination. This stated preference study supplements earlier studies of freight with better data on railway freight.
