Increased Train Usage at SEN

Of the remainder 24% were dropped off by friends/family and just 17% drove and parked at SEN. I suspect that the introduction of three Wizz destinations has contributed to the numbers using the train as this has increased from 33% a year earlier. The addition of early and late trains to the schedule will also have helped drive this increase.
Stobart will be happy as 91% of the income from ticket sales to and from the airport is theirs. You have to take into account that they built the station and manage it, but it will continue to be a major revenue stream as the airport grows.
