View the very latest data by clicking here and read on for our summary of the details. This year's data is believed to be the most accurate yet as a result of the manner in which entries and exits have been counted. For the first time, 2008-9 saw figures estimated for the range of unlimited travel tickets offered by PTEs and TfL. Accordingly, some locations have seen a marked rise in usage.

This year's data doesn't contain a column that states whether a station has seen growth or decline in usage from last year, primarily due to the change in methodology in accepting estimates of the unlimited rover-style tickets in urban areas. We assume the straightforward Growth/Decline column will return next year. Heathrow Express data has not been included and not all data for open-access operators such as Hull Trains and WSMR has been detailed.
