With the recent dip in passenger numbers I have compared average loadings per train between Q4 2013/14 and Q4 2017/18 and they show a fall for every operator apart from South Western Railway. This doesn't take account of any change in length of trains but putting aside the present timetabling issues, have people noticed a reduction in the number of people on their trains in the last few years?
