I wonder who the ten people "Interchanging" at Altrincham were?
First two stations I've checked - Knutsford and Northwich have had 19% rises.
I think a spreadsheet formula is wrong for 20% as I've found rises of above 20% that haven't been triggered - Ashley for instance.
Maybe a replacement bus service and a train. Can't be rail to Metrolink as that should be recorded as a National Rail exit and 10 would be grossly out.
Its when its 20% standard deviation more or less than the average rise, so when its over 29.6% rise or under -13.6%.
Im trying to think why theyve reported the strange rise in Wigan, Warrington and Manchester grouping as the origin for tickets. Possibly as theyve increased manual gating and revenue protection?
I can't see ATM, could anyone run through the busiest and quietest? Cheers
OK that makes sense.
Have they since the previous year though? The barriers at Oxford Road have been there for a few years now and G4S being a regular present at Piccadilly and Victoria and occasional presence at Deansgate is nothing new.
Has anything be done recently for Warrington Bank Quay? I know Central has had TPE inspections for a number of years but Bank Quay certainly didn't used to a few years ago.
Which on the whole makes you wonder what these statistics actually mean.
Most of the rest of it seems to be mostly waffle.
Basically, it seems, if I can get through all the waffle, the top 10 is all in London, except Glas Cen which is #9 and Birmingham NS which is #10. Euston is up 13%, but Birm N.S. is down 2% Meanwhile, 2 people interchanged at Dorchester West and 2 at Fishguard Harbour in 2009/10, but none at all in 2010/11. :cry:

Every station in Shropshire is up.
I fail to see what the excitement is every time these figures come out. The data is not particularly accurate.
Whilst it can influence, I'd be pretty confident that decisions, such as closures, would involve more careful analysis, actual passenger counting etc. The powers that be know the limitations of the data.

Indeed. The figures can be an indication of trends, but little more.
Salwick up by around 200 - that's probably because I started buying from Salwick whenever I travel anywhere from Preston

Possibly correct, I don't think I interchanged at Dorchester West at all 2010/11.
I think trends are the reason a lot of people are interested. If passenger numbers are up 20% it's a good time to push for more services, if passenger numbers are down 20% it'll be more a case of defending the current level of service.
Doleham. Southerns least used station saw increases of 630% ample justification for rail investment on the Marshlink line!
