Rail Services

1. Introduction

1.1 This chapter provides information on rail services, such as the numbers of passenger journeys of various types, passenger receipts, punctuality and passenger satisfaction, the amount of freight lifted by origin, destination and commodity, lines open for traffic, number of stations, railway accidents, and some statistics about the Glasgow Subway.

1.2 For simplicity, the Scottish passenger rail franchise is referred to throughout as ScotRail. From 31 March 1997 to 16 October 2004, it was operated by National Express, under the name ScotRail; from 17 October 2004, it has been operated by First Group, under the name First ScotRail. From 1 April 2015 Abellio and Serco began operating ScotRail and Caledonian Sleeper services.

1.3 ScotRail introduced a new methodology which better estimates Strathclyde Zonecard journeys from 2009/10. To allow meaningful year on year comparisons to be made passenger figures from 2003/04 onwards present the impact on previously published figures. Note that Office of Road and Rail figures are compiled on a different basis and do not adjust for this.

Key Points

  • There were 93 million passenger journeys on Scotrail services in 2014-15
  • Scotland has 2,763 kms of rail network and 351 stations.
  • 31% of respondents to the Scottish Household Survey had used the train in the last month in 2014.

2. Main Points

Journeys & Trends

2.1 Passenger journeys on ScotRail services increased by 7.3% to 92.7 million in the 2014-15 financial year, an increase of 45% since 2004-05 (Table 7.1).

2.2 There were 86.7 million rail passenger journeys originating in Scotland in the 2013-14 financial year. This was around 0.9 million (1%) more than the previous year. Following a fall in the early 1990's, passenger numbers increased in every year after 1994-95, to 64.9 million in 1999-2000. However, they fell by 0.1 million in 2000-01 due to the effects on rail services of the speed restrictions, imposed following the accident at Hatfield in October 2000 (e.g. the Edinburgh/Glasgow daytime frequency was halved for about two months, and some sleeper services did not run for about five months). There were falls of 0.2 million in 2001-02 and 0.6 million in 2002-03 due to the effects on services of the ScotRail drivers' pay dispute, including some one day strikes and a special timetable (involving a reduction of about a quarter in weekday services) from January to May 2002. Subsequently, patronage recovered, with increases from 2004-05 onwards. (Table H1) (Table 7.2)

2.3 ORR data also show 4.0 million cross-border passenger journeys originating outwith Scotland in 2013-14, 0.1 million more than in 2012-13. Cross-border passenger journeys originating outwith Scotland have been increasing since 1994-95 (2.1 million). However, they fell slightly in 2000-01 and 2002-03 due to the reasons referred to above. (Table 7.3)

2.4 Passenger revenue from journeys originating in Scotland was £448 million in 2013-14 of which cross-border journeys originating in Scotland accounted for £151 million (Table 7.2). A similar amount (£151 million) of passenger revenue was generated from passenger journeys originating outwith Scotland and ending in Scotland. (Table 7.3)

Journey Stages & Distances

2.5 Tables 7.4 to 7.8show passenger journeys as recorded by ORR. Of the 91 million passenger journeys between Scotland and England in 2013-14, 91% were solely within Scotland. London, the North West and North East of England were the main origins/destinations of cross-border passenger journeys with around 2 million journeys each (Table 7.4).

2.6 In 2013-14, there were 82.7 million passenger journeys, wholly within Scotland. Thirty nine per cent of start and end points were in Glasgow and 13% were in Edinburgh. There were 8 million cross border journeys starting or finishing in Scotland. Of these, 47% started or finished in Edinburgh and 26 per cent started or finished in Glasgow. (Table 7.6a and 7.6c)

2.7 Table 7.6c shows travel between Local Authorities in 2013-14. Of the journeys wholly within Scotland, 12 million (15%) start and finish in Glasgow. Over 6 million are made between Glasgow and North and South Lanarkshire. (Table 7.6c)

Stations

2.8 In 2014-15, Glasgow Central was the busiest national rail station in Scotland, with 29 million passenger journeys. Edinburgh Waverley was used by 21 million passengers, Glasgow Queen Street by 17 million, Paisley Gilmour Street by 4.1 million, Aberdeen by 3.7 million, Partick by 2.8 million, Haymarket and Stirling by 2.4 million, Charing Cross by 2 million, Dundee by 1.8 million and Hyndland by 1.7 million. Including those already listed, there were 80 stations for which more than half a million passenger journeys each were recorded in the national ticketing system. (Table 7.7)

2.9 Of the stations in Scotland which have opened (or re-opened) since 1970, Exhibition Centre (1,640,000), Argyle Street (1,438,000), Bathgate (1,177,000), Livingston North (1,125,000), Edinburgh Park (894,000), Dyce (824,000), Bridgeton (647,000), Anderston (634,000) and South Gyle (558,000) had the largest passenger volumes in 2014-15. (Table 7.8)

Punctuality & Service

2.10 In 2014-15, 90.5% of ScotRail services, 88.8% of Cross Country, 88.6% of Virgin Trains East Coast and 84.8% of Virgin Trains West Coast trains arrived on time. For all GB long-distance operators it was 87.4% and for all GB regional operators it was 91.6%. (Table 7.9)

2.11 In 2014-15, 95.5% of ScotRail trains arrived within 10 minutes of the scheduled arrival time, 1.4% arrived 20 or more minutes late, and 1.2% were cancelled. (Table 7.10)

2.12 In 2014, 89% of ScotRail passengers were either satisfied or said good when asked their opinion of their overall journey. The equivalent figure was 88% for non-ScotRail passengers whose journeys started in Scotland and 85% for all GB regional operators and 86% for all GB long-distance operators. The table shows ScotRail passengers' ratings of 14 aspects of service: in 2014, there were 12 for which at least 75% of those surveyed were satisfied, or said good and 10 above 80%. (Table 7.11)

2.13 The Scottish Household Survey also collects data from Scottish households on satisfaction with rail services. In 2014, around 91% were satisfied with train services offered, their timeliness, cleanliness and frequency and ability to find out about tickets and routes. There were noticeable differences in those who felt safe on the train during the day and in the evening (day: 97%, evening: 81%). 'Fares are good value' had the lowest agreement rate for trains with 57% of respondents doing so. These questions are asked every other year in the Scottish Household Survey, data for 2016 will be available in summer of 2017. (Table 7.20)

Rail Freight

2.14 In 2012-13, 8.4 million tonnes of freight was lifted in Scotland by rail, 15% less than the previous year, and 41% less than the 2005-06 peak. Since 2005-06 minerals and coal have fallen by 63% while other goods have increased by 25%.Of all freight lifted in Scotland, 34% was delivered elsewhere within the UK and about 5% was delivered outwith the UK (because of the way that the statistics are compiled, this figure includes freight for export which was delivered to a port in Britain, as well as Channel Tunnel traffic).

2.15 The amount of freight lifted in Scotland with a destination in Scotland increased by 48% between 2002-03 with a peak in 2007-08 and is currently 19% below this level. In 2012-13, coal and minerals accounted for 4.0 million tonnes (48%) of the freight lifted in Scotland. Dividing the number of tonne-kilometres by the number of tonnes gives an average length of haul of 231 kilometres for traffic remaining in Scotland, 386 kilometres for traffic to other parts of the UK, and 712 kilometres for traffic destined for outwith the UK. (Table 7.12)

2.16 A total of 1.65 million tonnes of freight lifted elsewhere in the UK was delivered in Scotland in 2012-13, along with 0.40 million tonnes of freight from outwith the UK (the latter figure includes imported freight which was lifted at ports in England or Wales). The total amount of freight with a destination in Scotland fell by 18%, from 8.77 million tonnes in 2011-12 to 7.16 million tonnes in 2012-13, the reduction is a result of a fall in freight lifted in the UK, as that lifted in Scotland saw a slight increase on the previous year. (Table 7.13)

Railway Network

2.17 The total route length of the railway network in Scotland is 2,763 kilometres, of which 709 kilometres is electrified. These figures do not represent the total length of railway track: a kilometre of single-track and a kilometre of double-track both count as one kilometre of route length. (Table 7.14)

2.18 The number of passenger stations has increased from 340 in 2003-04 to 351 in 2013-14. (Table 7.15)

2.19 The local authorities which had the largest numbers of stations located in their areas in 2013-14 were Glasgow (61) and Highland (59). Since the completion of the Borders Railway Project in 2015 there are now 4 stations in the Midlothian and 3 in the Scottish Borders council areas, see here for more information http://bit.ly/1s2dAUa (Table 7.16)

Subway

2.20 On the Glasgow Subway, although the number of passenger journeys increased by one per cent between 2013-14 and 2014-15, they are 10% below the 2007-2008 peak. Passenger receipts (excluding other revenue) were £17.8 million in 2014-15, 11% more in cash terms, and 9% more in real terms, than in the previous year. (Table 7.17)

Accidents

2.21 The number of railway accidents increased from 121 to 128 in 2014. Injuries from train accidents in stations rose from 536 in 2013 to 607 in 2014. The overall number of injuries relating to railways rose from 919 in 2013 to 1,039 in 2014. (Table 7.18)

2.22 The total number of fatalities was 24, of which 20 were suicides, 3 were trespassers and one was railway staff. (Table 7.19)

1. ScotRail introduced a new methodology which better estimates Strathclyde Zonecard journeys from 2009/10. Figures from 2003/04 onwards present the impact of this on previously reported data to provide a more meaningful year on year comparison. Note that this has no impact on actual journeys undertaken. Passenger kms have also been adjusted to reflect this.
2. Figures affected by industrial action.
3. Scheduled train kilometres are calculated by the Office of Rail Regulation using the published winter and summer timetables. They do not take account of subsequent changes (e.g. cancellations and emergency timetables etc).

1. There is a series break between 2007-08 and 2008-09 due to a change in the methodology. From 2008-09 estimates of PTE travel (zone cards) are included.
2. Figures are lower than those for First ScotRail passenger journeys as changes of train are not taken into account in this series.
3. Figures affected by industrial action.
4. Adjusted approximately for general inflation using the Retail Prices index for the relevant calendar year (e.g. 2001 RPI used for 2001-02).
5. Total passenger figures have not been adjusted to reflect ScotRail's revised methdology and therefore are not comparable with ScotRail passenger figures.

1. Since 2006-07 there have been improvements in mapping tickets sold with an unknown origin or destination. These were previously mapped to Scotland other, but due to improved methodology, these have now been mapped to other districts or unitary authorities.
One impact of this is journeys have been more accurately been mapped to Glasgow city since 2006-07 so comparisons with earlier years should not be made. For full methodology notes, please view the ORR documentation, which can be found here: http://orr.gov.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0014/1940/regional-usage-profiles-odm-august-2013.pdf

1. Note that this table shows start and end points of journeys so a journey starting in Aberdeen City and ending in Aberdeenshire would count once against each Local Authority. A journey starting and ending in Angus would count twice against the Local Authority.
Therefore dividing the figures in the table by two gives the number of journeys either starting or ending in a Local Authority and will match totals published elsewhere in this chapter.
2. Since 2006-07 there have been improvements in mapping tickets sold with an unknown origin or destination. These were previously mapped to Scotland other, but due to improved methodology, these have now been mapped to other districts or unitary authorities.
One impact of this is journeys have been more accurately been mapped to Glasgow city since 2006-07 so comparisons with earlier years should not be made. For full methodology notes, please view the ORR documentation, which can be found here: http://www.rail-reg.gov.uk/upload/pdf/odm-summary-1011.pdf

1. Based on ticket sales from central ticketing system (therefore excludes journeys made using zonecards)
2. In this table a journey between two local authorities is only counted once.
3. The table does not show the local authority areas which do not contain any stations
4. Total passenger figures have not been adjusted to reflect ScotRail's revised methdology and are therefore not comparable with ScotRail passenger figures.
Note: Previous versions of this table for the years 2008-09 to 2012-13 can be found in the STS no 33 Excel datasets here
