Wow! So newer trains and fewer cancellations does actually attract more rail passengers! Who'd have thought it?

As does better timekeeping, which probably points to how Westbury's platform 4 would pay for itself. The 1980s hamstrung a double track railway with single track section through a station and for obvious reasons there can't be many other examples where that's been done anywhere else in the UK.

Malton springs to mind ... and there IS some logic in doing it to save on the cost of a footbridge with slopes, lift and second platform.
