Abstract
Description
This report presents the findings from the Rail Census 2013. This is the second edition of the National Heavy Rail Census. Prior to 2012, the Census was undertaken for the Greater Dublin Area only. The Rail Census captures the number of individuals boarding and alighting at each station in the country on one day of the year. It provides a snapshot of usage and patronage across the country at all stations and on all services. Significant variation in rail usage from one day in a particular year to another day in the next year may be influenced by a range of factors. Some of these factors include operational changes such as amendments to timetables and frequency of services, while other factors are outside the control of the operator, such as the weather, improvements to other modes of travel or changes in the macroeconomic environment. Annual data on rail usage gives a balanced picture over the course of an entire year and therefore provides the best representation of systematic changes. The findings in this report should be interpreted in this context.
