So, how is everyone doing as far as ridership is concerned?

Strasburg had a very strong late winter but we have been down somewhat since then. Memorial Day was strong and the 4th of July was down 3% over a seven day period. We still can't tell what the summer will bring, but our surveys indicate a shift in when people are making plans. Historically the largest percentage of people made plans on the spur of the moment and the second largest group was a month ahead. Now the second group is one week out. This shift occurred during late 2007.

Just a reminder folks, the forum is set up to only allow TRAIN members to post. To post a reply, you need to do two things.

1) Sign up for an account.

2) Drop me a note telling me who you are so I can verify TRAIN membership.

If you're having trouble posting/replying, drop me a note, or give me a call. (You'll find my phone number in Trainline under webmaster, or on this site under the staff listings. I try not to post it online too many times, so that I don't get calls from the King of Nigeria wanting help transferring 29 million dollars...)
