Britain’s use of railways continues to break all records

he Office of Rail Regulation (ORR) has many important functions and one of them is to provide an unbiased and reliable set of UK rail statistics. Their latest work covers the year 2013-14, and shows that we made a record number of passenger journeys on Britain’s railways.

The ORR’s ‘Passenger Rail Usage’ report looks at passenger numbers and receipts and has done so since the financial year 2002-03. These reports demonstrate that rail usage in Britain has been relentlessly growing over the past decade.
