A member has provided data for some stations including those on our line. Shrewsbury, Wem, Whitchurch Wrenbury, Nantwich and Crew all show significant growth. Yorton is level and Prees has dropped back.
The headline station is Nantwich with an annual growth given as 9.72%. This will not be a surprise thto those who wait in the rain at the station for commuter trains in the rush hours to and from Manchester. So much for Arriva’s zero growth assumptions. We always said it was wrong.
The question is “What will TfW do to move with the times?” Do they even know about what is happening on the line?
