The more the Tracker highlights the falling passenger numbers, the government must think that its CRR calculations, based on increasing numbers, are undermined -- thereby supporting IA position that the project is not needed until mid-2020s. Once again we see political interference in operational matters. Poor frequency, chop and change timetables, cancelled services at the drop of a hat are all influencing passenger numbers. Fix those and numbers will rise dramatically. It will be interesting to see the nos. using trains and buses during the Commonwealth Games. The tracker for that period will be shot out of a cannon to the media!
