Borders Railway passenger footfall: FOI release
Information requested
Statistics regarding the passenger footfall on the Borders Railway
Response
In answer to your question, ScotRail provides Transport Scotland with the data on the Borders Railway passenger numbers and these can be obtained from the table below:-
Year Footfall 2017-18 1,718,339 2018-19 1,789,467 2019-20 1,723,083
The figures for 2019/20 are likely to have been slightly affected by the Covid-19 lockdown, which came into force after the middle of March. The reported passenger flows for the calendar-2019 year were 1,757,419. Data on the use of individual stations on the Borders Line can also be obtained from the Office of Rail and Road's website and I have attached a link to these. https://dataportal.orr.gov.uk/statistics/usage/estimates-of-station-usage/ Data on by-station demand are also now available for the year to March 2019 from the ORR website.
