The Department for Transport (DfT) has named the “10 busiest trains in England and Wales” – with three of the top five on the same route, from Bedford to central London.
According to the data, covering a 12-week spell from mid-September last year, the 7.15am and 7.30am Thameslink departures had 79 per cent and 84 per cent more passengers than seats, respectively – more than any other trains.
