In line with our published guidance, the Department has developed several scenarios of possible rail demand to reflect uncertainty including how passengers respond post-covid-19. The Department considers a wide range of evidence for our project appraisals and policy decisions.

The Office of Rail and Road (ORR) publishes statistics on rail passenger journeys and revenue. The latest statistics cover the period to end March 2022. These are available at https://dataportal.orr.gov.uk/statistics/usage/passenger-rail-usage/

The ORR plan to publish rail passenger usage for the period covering April to June 2022 in October.
