Question:
To ask the Minister for Regional Development to detail the total number of journeys on the (i) Bangor; (ii) Portadown; (iii) Larne; (iv) Derry; and (v) Portrush rail services, each year from 2001/2002 to 2011/2012.


Answer:
The table below shows the total number of journeys on the (i) Bangor; (ii) Portadown; (iii) Larne; (iv) Londonderry; and (v) Portrush rail services, each year from 2001/2002 to 2011/2012, with a more detailed split per line for the period 2004/2005 to 2011/2012.
It has only been possible to provide total journey statistics for the years 2001/02, 2002/03 and 2003/04 as a different ticketing system was in operation then which precludes extraction to the level of detail requested.
