Seems
like this was the busiest period on the RRRR as per the timetables. With 11 daily round trip trains and seven
round trip Sunday trains, its was said that they moved 9000 passengers per
day. With 22 daily trains, that would
avaerage 400 people per train! With
roughly 80 people per car, thats an average passenger train of 5 cars. |

There
were three Daily Except Sunday 1st class trains, two Daily Except Saturday
and Sunday 1st class trains, and the odd Saturday Only train. This seems to be the turning point, as
there were an equal amount of 3rd class freight only trains as compared to
the passenger only class 1 trains. |
