To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what estimate he has made of the number of rail passengers who have been delayed by (a) at least (i) 30 minutes and (ii) one hour and (b) more than two hours in the UK in each year since 2010.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what estimate he has made of the number of rail passengers who have been delayed by (a) at least (i) 30 minutes and (ii) one hour and (b) more than two hours in the UK in each year since 2010.
The Department for Transport (DfT) does not hold estimates of the number of rail passengers who have been delayed by (i) at least thirty minutes, (ii) one hour or more, or (iii) more than two hours each year since 2010.
However, DfT recently published (1 October) the compensation amounts paid by TOCs to passengers for delayed journeys since 2009. It shows the total amount of compensation paid to passengers has risen 80% in the past two years, as the government has increased the requirements of train operators to publicise passengers’ rights.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of trends in rail passenger usage of (a) Coventry station and (b) all stations in the West Midlands in the last five years.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of trends in rail passenger usage of (a) Coventry station and (b) all stations in the West Midlands in the last five years.
Estimates of Station Usage are published annually by the Office of Rail and Road (ORR). This publication contains estimates for the total number of passengers travelling to and from each station in Great Britain.
Estimates of the number of entries and exits at Coventry station over the last five years are as follows:
| 2012-13 | 2013-14 | 2014-15 | 2015-16 | 2016-17 |
Coventry | 5,641,000 | 5,961,000 | 6,253,000 | 6,921,000 | 7,378,000 |
Source: Office of Rail and Road, Estimates of Station Usage
Station entries and exits are an estimation of the number of passenger journeys with an origin or final destination of Coventry. The methodology applied makes an assumption that the number of station entries and exits are equal.
Journeys in which a passenger changes from one train to another at these stations in are presented separately as interchanges and are not included in these figures.
Statistics on Regional Rail Usage are also published by the ORR and the number of rail journeys in the West Midlands over the last five years are as follows:
| 2012-13 | 2013-14 | 2014-15 | 2015-16 | 2016-17 |
West Midlands | 74,051,000 | 78,216,000 | 80,563,000 | 86,801,000 | 91,457,000 |

These statistics estimate the number of journeys for which stations in West Midlands are an origin or a destination. This includes rail journeys to, from and within the West Midlands region.
Estimates of station usage for each station throughout Great Britain are published on the ORR website at:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what measures he is taking to increase the number of passenger rail journeys in the West Midlands.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what measures he is taking to increase the number of passenger rail journeys in the West Midlands.
In the past decade the total number of rail journeys in the West Midlands region has increased by more than two-folds: 39.8 million in 2006-07 to 91.5 million in 2016-17.
The new West Midlands Franchise, which commenced in December 2017, includes numerous initiatives that will further improve and increase passenger journeys in the West Midlands. There will be more than 180 new train carriages for the West Midlands, creating more space for people. This includes investment in 100 new carriages on the Cross City line and 80 new carriages for the Snow Hill line, offering longer and more spacious services.
There will also be a number of additional passenger journey opportunities, including; more trains between Birmingham and Shrewsbury with 2 services per hour from December 2018; a regular 2 trains per hour service between Birmingham and Rugeley via the Chase Line, also from December 2018; and, an extension of Cross City line services from Longbridge to Bromsgrove upon the completion of electrification this summer.

1This increase could be due to a methodological change in the statistics, rather than an actual increase in passenger numbers.

The most recent passenger forecasts for the rail network are published in the December 2014 National Policy Statement for National Networks (NPS)[1]. A summary of these forecasts is shown below:
Table 2: Growth in Passenger km (in %) since 2011 including Phase 1 | |||
Year | 2020 | 2026 | 2033 |
London & South East | 20.4% | 31.2% | 46.1% |
Long distance | 12.9% | 36.8% | 63.8% |
Regional | 8.7% | 16.5% | 32.8% |
Total (average) | 15.3% | 30.5% | 50.1% |
Source: Network Modelling Framework (NMF) â estimates based on model runs conducted in October 2014. HS2 forecasts have been supplied by HS2 Ltd modelling team and incorporated as overlays to the NMF numbers.
These can be compared against Office of Rail and Road (ORR) figures[2] for existing rail usage for the financial year 2014-15:
Sector | Number of passenger kilometres travelled (billions) |
London & South East | 29.6 |
Long Distance | 20.8 |
Regional | 12.0 |
Total | 62.4 |
The Department for Transport (DfT) is currently undergoing an extensive update of the models involved in forecasting rail demand, specifically in preparation for the Control Period 6 planning. The update will ensure more recent evidence and data are taken into account whilst also ensuring wider consistency with separate modelling being conducted on the High Speed Rail (HSR). Later in 2016 DfT will be in a position to make another publication of forecasts ready for CP6.
Given the nature of the model, a 10-year successive forecast for rail is not published.
