      <![CDATA[Does anyone here know where/how to find ridership numbers  __by train__ to compare Main Street against Staples Mill for  __only__ the trains that stop at both stations? Those would be NE Regionals 66, 67, 83, 94, 95, 99, and 194.

      <![CDATA[Points:<br>1) Comparing rider numbers is inaccurate when only 4 trains daily leave Main Street, 20 leave Staples Mill. You'd have to compare the rider numbers for those 4 only, Main Street against Staples Mill.

      <![CDATA[If you look at just about every time table for trains leaving Main Street or Staples Mill going to Union Station, it takes at least 30 minutes longer from down town. You can dress it up all you want, but I'm still leaving Staples Mill.

      <![CDATA["The ultimate question, however, is whether Main Street Station is worth more than a half-billion dollars to upgrade tracks for upgraded service that averages a meager 2,000 passengers each month. That level is four times less than monthly ridership in Charlottesville, a much smaller city, and 10 times less than the Staples Mill station."<br><br>Gee, maybe if we made those improvements so you had a lot more trains coming through Main Street Station, a lot of those 250,000 people who use that dingy, cramped sorry excuse for a train station on Staples Mill would use the much nicer Main Street Station instead.
