Question
When does the Minister anticipate that passenger numbers on trains in Wales will recover following the pandemic?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Climate Change
Passenger numbers are not declining. The most recent figures show passenger journeys are 86% of the pre-covid average, having grown 9% since last year. Some routes and days now exceed pre-covid levels, for example Sundays are 116% of the pre-covid average.
From December, Transport for Wales will be operating 20% more services than Arriva Train Wales operated in 2018.
