Why is second highest ridership in western Virginia not noteworthy?[edit]
The station, in short time after reinstating service has the second highest ridership of any Amtrak station in Virginia west of the main north south trunk, aside from Charlottesville. As to the argument that this is no big deal in comparison to stations elsewhere: that is comparing to markedly different territories. Those places have higher ridership because they are on corridors with high frequency or long established service. Compare this ridership to cities of much greater size but lower ridership: for example: Atlanta. Dogru144 (talk)
There are four different issues with your edit:
The biggest issue is that you didn't actually say what you claimed to say. Your edit added The station has the second highest ridership (after Charlottesville) of an Amtrak station west of stations on the New York - Florida corridor, which does not mention Virginia whatsoever. As added, the statement is completely false.
The sentence The restoration of service to Roanoke has been a success. is wildly POV. Who is saying it's a success, and based on what criteria?
There are only seven stations in Virginia west of the NYC-Florida corridor. Of those, Roanoke has the highest population and the highest metro area population. Its station having the second-highest ridership of those seven isn't unexpected or particularly noteworthy.
