SCOTRAIL is carrying nearly one-third more passengers than in 2004 after recording the eight successive year of growth, the firm said yesterday.
The operator, which provides more than 95% of rail passenger services in Scotland, carried more than 81 million people in the year to March, an increase of 3.6% on the previous year and up 30% from when First Group took over.
The latest figures follow recent news that the UK rail network is carrying more passengers than at any time since the 1920s due to a renaissance in rail travel which appears to be largely undimmed by recession.
ScotRail managing director Steve Montgomery said: "We are delighted passenger numbers continue to grow."
