Whilst we will need to influence the next rail franchise for future rail services, following First Great Western's decision to exercise a contractual option to terminate early the existing franchise, to ensure reliability, affordability and frequency of trains the good news is that rail travel is making an increased contribution to journeys within Cornwall. Also the plans to secure faster services between Cornwall and London remain on course.
Cornwall's branch line network saw journey numbers increase by 6.3% (over 2009) to 1.69m in 2010 with early indications of further substantial increase in 2011.
