Looking for Wiltshire (Unitary) numbers

Posted by grahame at 09:49, 21st March 2026

Would anyone care to help me estimate or guess the following

How many passenger journeys in a (current) year
- by train to, from, between stations in Wiltshire
- by train passing through Wiltshire
- by bus to, from, between bus stops in Wiltshire
- by train passing through Wiltshire
- by coach to, from, between coach stops / destinations in Wiltshire
- by coach passing through Wiltshire

And more difficult questions
- how many individuals (different) travellers?
- how many of them hold driving licenses and would have a vehicle available?
- how many Wiltshire residents, UK residents, visitors from overseas?
- average journey lengths by each mode?

Generally speaking, Grahame, I am in genuine awe of all the work you do for the community - including for nerds like me. Awe, and admiration.

And then there are days like today. I read the above, had a chuckle and then went back to wondering and worrying what that man of influence across the Pond is dreaming up next. . .
