26 People
This morning, I watched as a total of 26 people made use of Aslockton railway station at 06:27, 07:27 and 08:17, most of whom I recognised as people who make return journeys every day. So that’s approximately 50 journeys.
50 journeys witnessed, 21 trains calling at Aslockton per day. I make that an average of 2.3 people per train, and that’s assuming that no-one uses any trains during the day. The true figure will certainly be more than 2.3.
“Less than 1.3″ my arse.
Makes me wonder what East Midland Trains base these assertions on. Surely it can’t be based on revenues, because their ability to collect fares isn’t great (but better than Central Trains before them). How often is my ticket checked? At most, 75% of the time.
