Passenger Figures on the Rise
According to the Office of Rail and Road, the number of National Rail passengers has continued to increase, with 451 million journeys made between April and June this year.
This represents a 7% increase compared to the same period in 2024, when 420 million journeys were made. The number of kilometres travelled also rose by 7%, reaching 17.1 billion.
Revenue increased by 6%, from £2.9 billion in 2024 to £3.1 billion this year. All National Rail operators recorded increases, ranging from 15% on CrossCountry to 2% on ScotRail.
