Looks like Amtraks on a roll in Virginia

New ridership records. https://wset.com/news/local/amtrak-virg ... -july-2023
"The Virginia Passenger Rail Authority (VPRA) announced Tuesday that 1.26 million passengers traveled on its Amtrak Virginia service during the state’s fiscal year 2023 (July 1, 2022 – June 30, 2023).

This sets an all-time record for fiscal year ridership. The total of 1,256,123 beat the previous record of 894,065 set during fiscal year 2015."

Amtrak Va is almost at the halfway point of its FY that started July 1. Can anyone have an idea how ridership is going this FY compared to last year?

504,989 for July-October 2023 compared to 439,841 for the same period in 2022.

So, it is up another almost 15%. It would be even more interesting to know the change in revenue passenger miles.

2023 ridership is 1,325,937, or 29.8% more than in 2022.
