Freight on this line, hour by hour
No freight is booked over the Valley Lines in the week beginning 12 October 2026. Freight paths stay in the national timetable even when they run only as required, so a line with none booked is one that freight does not use.
Passenger figures are the Office of Rail and Road's estimates of station usage for 2024-25, added up across the stations on this line. They count entries and exits at those stations rather than journeys along the line, and a station served by more than one line is counted for each of them.
