Title: Rail usage stats - year to March 2016 Post by: grahame on May 07, 2016, 15:50:55 Station by station stats for the year April 2015 to March 2016 are unlikely to be published before late autumn, but figure for the network as a whole have been released. From The BBC (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-36234984)
Quote Rail passengers in Britain made about 1.7 billion train journeys during the past year, according to the Rail Delivery Group. The figures are a 3.7% rise on the previous 12 months, with journeys in London and south-east England increasing by 4.2% to 1.2 billion. As a result, passenger revenue grew by more than 5% to ^9.3bn in 2015-16 The RDG's Paul Plummer said it was "vital that we invest and plan long-term for this ever-growing demand". But Mick Cash, general secretary of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union, said rail companies' "profiteering" was a hindrance to expanding and improving services.
