Rail passenger numbers and crowding on weekdays (RAI02)
Data on rail passenger numbers, crowding and capacity, produced by Department for Transport.
Following the discovery of errors in the raw input data affecting the calling time at some count stations, the allocation of standing allowances to some train operators, and the number of Avanti services, some minor revisions were made to the 2022 figures in the latest Rail passenger numbers and crowding statistics.
The revisions made to the calling time at count stations will not affect the total passenger number estimates but will redistribute the load between different times of the day. This will cause a slight revision in a.m. and p.m. peak arrivals and departures for some cities and stations in tables RAI0201, RAI0202 and RAI0203.
Some revisions made to the standing allowances allocated to some train operating companies (TOCs), affecting the Passengers in Excess Capacity statistics. These revisions will see the proportion of services and passengers in excess of capacity slightly fall for some cities and stations, and some TOCs. These revisions will affect Tables RAI0209 through to RAI0215.
A revision of the methodology for estimating passenger numbers at Waterloo, to align it with the pre-COVID-19 estimation method, and a revision to the number of Avanti services will slightly increase the overall total passengers estimated, affecting Tables RAI0201, RAI0202 and RAI0203.
These revisions are minor at a national level, not changing the overall trend. However some larger differences might be seen at a regional level and in the departures and arrivals figures for Waterloo Station.
