Were the figures adjusted to show passenger interchanges from Waterloo, having previously not been included in the stats?

Perhaps there was a problem with them being unable to differentiate between Waterloo Main and Waterloo East for ticket sales, in common with many other locations.
Possibly that year coincided with a new method of sharing out the ticket data? In which case there might be a comparable drop in the Waterloo (Main) figures?

To quote Wikipedia, "Annual estimated passenger usage based on sales of tickets in stated financial year(s) which end or originate at [station] from Office of Rail and Road statistics. Methodology may vary year on year."
The key is that last one - it's likely they changed the way they counted things rather than there being any major change in passenger numbers. But what exactly...
Definitely to do with the way the methodology. Tickets are issued to "London Terminals".
No; about 10 years later!

Isn't that when they stopped providing unticketed access to use the Jubilee Line exit as a short cut towards the Friars Bridge area?
