Title: Welsh stations - Railway passenger growth reaches 11-year high Post by: grahame on February 23, 2020, 06:42:16 From the BBC (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-51573051) this morning. Old news, I suspect - the Welsh Government recycling ORR stats published on 14th January, but good to get a Welsh view
Quote Railway passenger growth reaches 11-year high The number of passengers using railway stations in Wales has grown by the largest amount in more than a decade. More than 57.4m people used stations in Wales in 2018-19, up 9.4% from 52.5m the previous year, the largest rise since 2007-08. Much of the growth occurred in the area surrounding Cardiff, with valleys and suburban stations seeing large rises. Swansea, Bangor and Rhyl stations were among the 20 busiest, but increases were modest compared to the south east. The figures, released by the Welsh Government, measure the number of entries and exits to railway stations over a 12-month period between April 2018 and March 2019.
