The year's revenue reviewed

The year's revenue reviewed.

Unlike most railways, we are able this year to show an actual increase in both the number of passengers carried by our services and the tonnage of goods conveyed. The increase in operating revenue, amounting to £181,486, is sufficiently substantial to indicate genuine progress in the development of traffic during the past twelve months. I anticipate that when the figures for subsidiary services are available, the revenue increase will be found to be considerably higher.
