Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many passengers were carried on the Hereford to Paddington line in 2013.

Although the Department for Transport does hold some information on passengers carried on the Hereford to Paddington Line, this has been provided on a commercially confidential basis so cannot be released. However, station usage statistics published by the Office of Rail Regulation (ORR) show the estimated number of passengers using each station in Great Britain, including Hereford, and can be found at the link below:
