TRAIN OF THOUGHT


How many passengers do you think use Brigg railway station?
Official figures from the Office of Rail Regulation – available on the internet – show 665 “entries and exits” by passengers in 2007/8, which works out at about 13 a week. Or, to put things into true perspective, 13 a day (as our rail link only receives trains on a Saturday). Brigg gets six trains – three in each direction between Sheffield and Cleethorpes – so that’s an average of just over two per train. If you want to see the figures for Brigg, and all other stations in the UK, follow this link STATION USE

There's lies, damn lies and then there's Brigg station's statistics.

Now there's a thought....tansport all those NLC workers who live in Sunny Scunny by train.......Brigg's parking and traffic problems solved at a stroke.
