Riviera Line - Passenger Volume

Passenger Volume

Apart from Exeter and Newton Abbot, the busiest station on the line is Paignton, but traffic growth in recent years has been mainly on the main line section at Dawlish and Teignmouth.

The annual passenger usage is based on sales of tickets in stated financial years from Office of Rail Regulation statistics. The statistics are for passengers arriving and departing from each station and cover twelve month periods that start in April. Please note that methodology may vary year on year.

Famous quotes containing the words passenger and/or volume:

    “Every American travelling in England gets his own individual sport out of the toy passenger and freight trains and the tiny locomotives, with their faint, indignant, tiny whistle. Especially in western England one wonders how the business of a nation can possibly be carried on by means so insufficient.”
    —Willa Cather (1876–1947)

    “There is a note in the front of the volume saying that no public reading ... may be given without first getting the author’s permission. It ought to be made much more difficult to do than that.”
    —Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
