Station usage statistics are an estimate of the number of passengers travelling to and from each station (entries and exits) in England, Scotland and Wales. Figures are based on ticket sales data recorded in rail industry systems. There are limitations to the dataset, as the figures are estimates and do not represent exact numbers.
To view the station usage figures and accompanying notes, see http://www.rail-reg.gov.uk/server/show/nav.1529
Station usage figures are presented in alphabetical order according to station name but can be reordered by a variety of categories – e.g. number of passenger entries and exits, country or region, county or unitary authority. Guidance notes on how to filter the data are published alongside the Excel spreadsheet.
