Train companies welcome record passenger journey figures released by the ORR

26/04/2012

In response to record rail passenger journey figures from the rail regulator, Edward Welsh, a spokesperson for the Association of Train Operating Companies (ATOC) said: “Rail travel is more popular now than at any time since the 1920s. Despite difficult financial times for many people, train companies are attracting more and more passengers with better services and a range of good value tickets.

“More people travelling by train is good news for the economy, our rail industry and the environment.”
