UK▸ (United Kingdom) rail passenger numbers in 2020-21 reached the lowest level in at least 150 years, new figures show.

Just 388 million journeys were made in the 12 months to the end of March as the coronavirus pandemic saw demand for travel collapse, regulator the Office of Rail and Road (ORR» (Office of Rail and Road formerly Office of Rail Regulation - about)) says.

This is just 22% of the total of 1.739 billion during the previous year and is the lowest annual figure in records dating back to 1872.

The period between April and June 2020 saw the lowest demand for train travel, with just 35 million journeys made.

Passenger revenue in 2020-21 totalled £1.9bn, just 18% of the £10.4bn figure generated 12 months earlier.

However, estimates by the Department for Transport show rail usage has recovered to about 45% of pre-Covid levels by the end of May 2021.

These'll be the base numbers for the station-by-station reports a few weeks before Christmas.

To confirm that the passenger number drop is not limited to the UK (as if we thought it was  Cheesy ) - from Iraq Business News

Quote
Iraq's Central Statistics Organization (CSO) has announced a fall of more than 80 percent in passenger numbers on Iraq's railways in 2020.

The number of passengers carried fell from 435,000 in 2019 to 77,000 in 2020, probably due, at least in part, to the coronavirus pandemic.
