Passenger Focus’s response to Network Rail’s West Coast Main Line Route Utilisation Strategy Draft for Consultation

31 March 2011

The numbers of people travelling by rail are increasing. Performance on the railways
is steadily improving and passenger satisfaction rising. Passenger Focus expects the
programme of Route Utilisation Strategies (RUSs) across the rail network to build on
this; to allow for continued passenger growth, to further improve performance and to
improve passenger satisfaction.
