3.9 Modal trends: National Rail in London
National Rail travel has grown strongly at the national level over the past decade,
with only a brief slowdown during the recent recession. This pattern is reflected for
travel on services defined by the Office of Rail Regulation (ORR) as ‘London and
South East’ (L&SE). Passenger kilometres and passenger journeys increased for the
fifth year in a row with increases of 3.5 per cent in passenger kilometres and 4.3 per
cent in journeys. Comparing 2014/15 with 2008/09, there has been a 22 per cent
increase in passenger kilometres and a 35 per cent increase in the number of
journey stages (table 3.1).
