asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will state the total route mileage of railway for which grant aid is given under Section 39(1) of the Transport Act, 1968, the approximate number of passenger miles travelled on the services concerned, the most heavily used route in passengers per mile per year and the route with most frequent regular service in numbers of trains per day.

About 8,450 miles; about 11,000 million passenger miles. I regret that the other information requested is not readily available.
