Our campaigning is evidence and data based and repeated passenger counts has helped us greatly in this regard. We plan to resume in March.
We are also working in close collaboration with Edge Hill University on the development of a travel survey which is close to fruition.

Very productive meeting with Edge Hill Uni last week and looking forward to developing our collaboration on passenger surveys. Our pilot survey elicited a good number of responses we are analysing.
