Record footfall at Waverley as Oasis fans flock to the city
Official figures from Network Rail show that Edinburgh Waverley saw footfall skyrocket to 140,000, surpassing the station's previous record of 145,000 set on Saturday 14 December 2024 in the midst of last year's Christmas season. Read More: The beginning of last week saw notable travel disruption as a result of Storm Floris, which resulted in high numbers of cancelled and delayed services on the network. However, what was the first full week of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival saw passenger numbers climb to just shy of 800,000. In order to handle the surging passenger numbers the station made use of extra staff to allow services to run as planned. Station manager at Edinburgh Waverley, Chris King, said: 'It's brilliant to see so many people enjoying what Edinburgh has to offer. We always expect August to be busy, but this weekend was exceptional. 'The Fringe and Tattoo brings an incredible buzz to the city every year, and adding Oasis into the mix meant we had a real 'Wonderwall' of people coming through the station. 'The weekend shows how important rail is in connecting people to these events and experiences. 'Our team did a fantastic job keeping everything running as smoothly as possible, and we'll continue working hard to ensure our station is ready to meet that continued demand in the weeks ahead.' Network Rail says that the station expects high levels of footfall to continue throughout the month and encourages passengers to plan ahead as well as allowing extra time to complete their journeys.

Kentucky Fish and Wildlife urges boating safety ahead of summer
KENTUCKY (FOX 56) — As Memorial Day weekend marks the unofficial start of summer, Kentucky's waterways are expected to be filled with boaters excited to kick off the season. Officials with Kentucky Fish and Wildlife are urging people to put safety first before they hit any of the state's waterways. Lieutenant Chris King said to have a plan before you go. 'We encourage everyone to have a float plan. Call somebody that you're close to that's not coming on the lake with you,' King said. 'Let them know where you're going, how long you expect to be gone.' Milky Way galaxy to illuminate summer Kentucky skies One of the best ways to keep you and your family safe on the water this summer is by wearing a life jacket. King says it's the law to have one available. 'It is state law that once a vessel is underway, children 12 and under must have a life jacket on. It's also a law that you keep one readily accessible; it never hurts. I like to wear mine all of the time just to be safe,' King said. King urges you to have and check all of the required boating safety equipment. Including wearable life jackets for each person on board, a throwable flotation device, a fire extinguisher, and a noise-making device such as a horn or whistle.

'Simply try to call 911, and it goes to your local state police post, and they will dispatch accordingly. Also, if you have a marine band radio, marine 16, that channel goes straight to us as well,' King said. Officials remind boaters that following safety guidelines and being prepared with the proper equipment can prevent accidents and save lives on Kentucky's waterways this summer.
