Although the lowest turnout was 2001 and it's risen in each general election since.

Turnout alone doesn't measure this phenomenon. While it's risen, it hasn't risen that much, and is still low historically. 1997 was a drop on 1992, yet the turn to enthusiasm for Labour was high. 2001 was lowest probably because that was the year that the Tories reached their absolute nadir in hopelessness.
