Question
To ask the Scottish Government how many rail passenger journeys there have been in each of the last three years, broken down by Parliamentary region.
Answer
The Scottish Government does not hold rail passenger information broken down by specific parliamentary region.
The continued investment in Scotland’s Railway, infrastructure, stations and services has seen patronage grow by 35% in the last 10 years across Scotland.
I refer the member to Scottish Parliament Information Centre (SPICe) Bibliographic number: 61413 for details of Scotrail passenger figures broken down by route for the last 3 years.
