It is not correct that overall train use is down by 50% in 2023. The claim is based on the results of an annual government survey on travel habits, and refers to the difference in the number of trips made by train for either business or commuting in 2022 compared to 2019. https://fullfact.org/economy/train-passenger-numbers/

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1709842566542221385
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
