And even when you get into the article

Demand for rail travel into and around Bristol is on the rise and it is estimated that in less than a decade, it will increase by half its current volume.

In order to deal with the new demands, Network Rail has announced a project to double the railway lines between the west-coast city's two main stations - Bristol Temple Meads and Bristol Parkway.

Four Track Now!  will  be delighted.

To be fair, the article is only really repeating the wording in the Network Rail Press Release, repeated below.   I guess its an example where a greater degree of accuracy would probably not give too much benefit, and would probably be less eye catching to the public.
