Document summary

This report explores the motivations and barriers to rail usage. We asked current, lapsed and non-users of public transport about their travel by train. We asked how this has changed in the last year, what is driving changes in usage, and what the key barriers are which mean they don’t travel by train more, or at all. Transport Focus undertook this research in March 2023. We can compare some of the findings with a previous survey, undertaken in March 2022, which was focused on how train usage had changed since the pandemic.
