February 2012 - Crewkerne Town

Numbers joining and leaving each train, and numbers meeting or seeing off travellers;
Train punctuality;
Overcrowding on three-car trains and light loading of six-car trains.
Tony Reese said that the Association of Train Operating Companies have aggregated
statistics on some of these matters, but they are open to question.
Eric Keitch thought that ticket sales, being accounted to the station however sold,
were an adequate guide to usage – but they do not indicate the usage of individual
trains, or the travelling patterns of season ticket holders.
Geoff Clarke said that he intended to test the service to disabled travellers when going
to the meeting in Woking.
