Looking at the ORR statistics, NI railways isn’t anywhere near most operators in GB but is above Grand Central and the Caledonian.
Is this 15.5 million figure a decent figure for our population of 1.9 million? Just trying to see if we are are getting up to GB levels of usuage.
Curious to see what new carriages means? Does this mean new trains?
Translink, Northern Ireland's public transport operator, returned to an operating profit in 2017 after two years of heavy losses.
Profit of £2m was achieved on turnover of £220.5m.
The improved financial position was largely due to the company receiving increased public funding during the year.
There was also increased fare income with the company carrying 81 million passengers, the highest in 20 years.
There were 15 million journeys on NI Railways - a 5.5% annual increase bringing it to the highest level in its 50-year history.
Translink is understood to be considering plans to buy new train carriages, which will allow it to increase capacity on some services.
