fleetline sends us this picture celebrating 70 years of Highgate station - there are two of them on display: one in the passage between the platforms and escalators and the other on the public side of the barriers with gallons (whatever that is, I suspect a predictive text fail.)  ;D

Looks nice, but it's barely legible. Is there a bigger version that doesn't need Ctrl + Scroll Wheel?

I don't need a scroll wheel to see the 'Finsbury park' and 'Alexandra palace' - sloppy capitalisation Nice poster though otherwise!  |

Tourists, people who walk there from Central London then return there with the tube?

It's all the people following the Northern Heights walk from Finsbury Park to Highgate and then going home |

Oops, my phone likes to change correctly spelt words for the wrong words. Balloons, red ones and gallons of them! Shame they didn't complete the Northern Heights or this wouldn't have been my station! |

At my local station, South Woodford, there are more exits than entries.. guess many people give birth on the Central Line..

Does that mean the child gets a free Oyster card given to them to record the exit? Oh wait then it'll have an immediate incomplete journey -- not a good way to start your life... |

All sorts of possibilities. People with paper tickets may well be counted going into the system but not leaving (for example if the gates are left open in the late evening). Or they may go to one station in the morning but return from another in the evening (for example because they are taking children to school, going to the pub after work, or simply because they live halfway up a hill, and walk to the station at the bottom of the hill in the morning, but take the train to the station at the top of the hill in the evening so they can walk home downhill. (The problem Paris has with Velibs at Montmartre!)
Or it may be easier to find a bus to one station and from another. Or all sorts of reasons.
The total number of entries and exits over the system as a whole should tally (but probably doesn't, because of the first reason above!), but there is no reason why any particular station should tally

Even back around 1960, students at Highgate School who lived south of Highgate would take Underground to Archway and then a bus up the hill. Going home, they would walk down the shorter hill to Highgate station. |

Just to echo and muse on Norbs points above.
If the tube were the only mode of transport in London, and everyone always had to walk to their nearest tube station irrespective of gradient, the totals for each individual station (though closer) woudl still not tally because of people making a return trip over longer than one day (eg, to stay with friends or relatives for a night or more).
The more inherant choice there is in a transport system, the more people use the entire system to meet their convienience. So maybe a train in one direction, bus return. Walk into somewhere, return by train via a third place. Tube and Train to a mates, lift back.
'Course the other possibility is mass migration away from Highgate. The population of Highgate mid '09 was 10,281, so indicating potentially that Highgate will cease to exist in about 8½ years time, if the stated rates continue.

The answer appears to be "Mill HIll East" ;D www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/corporate/modesoftransport/tube/performance/entriesandexits.asp?id=166&agekey=2010Mill Hill East Annual entry and exit frequencies Entry weekday total: 1587 Exit weekday total: 1871 Entry weekday early: 72 Exit weekday early: 11 Entry weekday A.M. peak: 840 Exit weekday A.M. peak: 306 Entry weekday inter peak: 264 Exit weekday inter peak: 300 Entry weekday P.M. peak: 220 Exit weekday P.M. peak: 641 Entry weekday evening: 191 Exit weekday evening: 613 Entry Saturday total: 915 Exit Saturday total: 1074 Entry Sunday total: 548 Exit Sunday total: 620 |
