I buy my annual season ticket with an origin point one stop further down the line than my home station (from Staplehurst rather than from Marden). I do this because it’s the same price, but means I save a few pounds if I ever travel ‘the other way’ on leisure trips.
My question is, am I potentially causing Marden station to lose out because my daily journeys don’t count towards the official passenger statistics? Are decisions about service frequencies ever made based purely on ticket data (as opposed to observations on the ground)? I presume so, but thought I’d post here in case anybody knows.
