| Melksham / transWilts - latest stats From the Office of the Rail Regulator Thanks for your recent email which was forwarded to us from the Department of Transport (DfT), as we deal with most enquiries for rail data. We have had to consult DfT about your enquiry. Usage levels on through stretches of line are not easy to calculate, but usage of particular stations is fairly easily available. So what we have done is to download from our database estimates of usage for Melksham station in terms of journeys from and to the station since 1999/00 up to 2004/05. The total number of journeys as recorded on the database to/from Melksham is as follows: 1999/2000 3,637 2000/2001 3,267 2001/02 13,701 2002/03 19,135 2003/04 20,841 2004/05 27,435 These figures include all journeys that specifically mention Melksham as the Origin or Destination (so this includes journeys made using railcards). The only journeys excluded (to our knowledge) are if any Rover tickets are available in the area and of course journeys made without purchasing a ticket. Tickets purchased on board trains are included. In other words, traffic has increased over 7 fold in 5 years. From my own observations that 3 and a half times the number of people stay on the train as leave or join at Melksham, the implication is that there are some 95000 to 100000 journeys made per year |
