Pax Figures 2009 v 1999
Whilst there "might" be a return/increase of pax on current services as the economy "hopefully" improves, its difficult to see where expansion will come from in the future. I assumed that when RYR set up at Manchester it would stem expansion at Liverpool in favour of Manchester. Now they are even more firmly entrenched it makes the situation even more precarious!
