Attendance was reportedly up by a fifth in key parishes
There has been a “record” rise in numbers attending Extraordinary Form Masses over Easter, according to the Latin Mass Society.
Across Britain more than 200 older form Masses were celebrated over Holy Week. These included Easter Sunday Masses at both Norwich and Portsmouth cathedrals.

That is nice anecdotal evidence. I’d love to see some actual stats. Hope it’s true.
 
One of the churches where I live has a Latin mass every Sunday. I go from time to time to remember the solemnity and beauty of how it used to be.

Yeah a similar report came out about the LTM in the US a while back.

The problem was, the increase of attendance at key parishes where the TLM was celebrated, was the result of the TLM being dropped at other parishes.

I have never been to mass, but I think my first mass will be a Latin one.
