Passenger Numbers to be Counted

16 March, 2007

The East Suffolk Line Community Rail Partnership has commissioned a full survey of passenger numbers. A company that specialises in rail passenger counts will carry out a survey of all people using the route over the course of a typical day.

Passenger numbers on the East Suffolk Line have risen 15% in the last year, and because the priority for Conductors is issuing and checking tickets there is only complete data for a few trains and stations. The survey results will be used to determine the need for more frequent services.

INDUSTRIAL ACTION is taking taking place in early May. Mon 6/5, and Wed 7/5 though Sat 11/5 most services will run but there will be some cancellations. On Tuesday 7/5 there will be a full strike; NO services on the East Suffolk Lines or the other local/regional routes will operate that day. Mainline services to/from London will be reduced.
