Patricroft Station Passenger Survey
Following our latest survey of passengers travelling from and to Patricroft station, we are pleased to announce that passenger numbers appear to be rising at Patricroft station.
Friends of Patricroft Station, has produced a report detailing our findings (available to download, below), of which some key headline findings include:
Ø There has been a 9% increase in overall passenger numbers from 2014 to 2015.
Ø The morning rush-hour peak to Manchester has been ‘squashed’ by the previous service changes and overcrowding, with only half as many people on the 8am train as all previous years, but more travelling earlier.
Ø The May 2015 timetable has increased the number of carriages in the morning rush hour, contributing to addressing the capacity issues once potential passengers are aware.
Ø 20% more people travel to Manchester than come return using the rail service – possibly an indicator of the requiment for improvements to evening and night time services.
