Is there an easy way to find out pax numbers for a NR station upto and including 2015? Wife is doing some research If you mean a given station, just put the proper station name into wiki & hit the entry under wiki for it. It should give you the numbers from 2004/5 to 2013/14 inclusive, as here: number 1number 2Note the 2nd one goes up to 2014/15, so it may depend on which station is used as to whether you can get up to 2015. However, there's a link to ORR at the bottom of both lots of figures, so that might also assist. |

Yes annual passengers.
I have already viewed wiki and data that is almost 18 months old is not that useful. Surely there must be some data for 2015

Looks like it's due out for 2015/6 in December: scheduleAssume that it runs from one financial year to the next, hence why there appear to be no 2015-only figures available. Having been a Civil Servant for most of 40 years, that tends to be the way it works, sorry to say. |

@dom K - you shouldn't believe any of the ORR figures. The earlier years are based on ticket sales data and are demonstrably inaccurate within the Travelcard area(and have been comprehensively rubbished by passenger groups and others who have conducted actual surveys of boarding alighting punters). ORR's problem stemmed from the fact that they had to make assumptions about the relationship between Travelcard purchases and the specific stations used. You can imagine the rest. Fairly recently (2009?), ORR caved in and admitted they were wrong and began to base station useage on observations. For some stations,especially in inner London, there was an immediate step change in trend - some stations showed an up to 4 x change... This is a great pity:in NSE days, we actually counted and so our historic figures can't now be linked in terms of trend to ORR's product.
BTW,there is a similar problem with ORR's estimates of passenger journeys - each trip that involves a change of TOC leads to an extra journey being counted. 'nuff said.

I guess with the introduction of Oyster there is more data available, although not 100% accurate, it's a good indication of how busy a location is. I tweeted LO and they said I should submit a query through normal channels. If the missus needs the data for sure, a FOI may help
