Local Station usage

[lpool]

New stats out on station usage. Denmark Hill now 79th most bust station. East Dulwich quite a bit further down the list. Over 2 million trips to/from the station each year though.

most bust is appropriate after yesterday.

With the proper Victoria evening and Sunday trains to come in Jan, this will only get better.

Those additional hourly Faversham/Dover trains also - for people coming from Bromley and beyond. Victoria-wise, they are only a few mins apart from one of the existing Dartford trains, so doesn't really equate to an every 20 min service.

Longer Overground trains might attract people put off by crowds too.

Shame the Thameslink route isn't getting much in the way of improvements - quite the busy station now!

Most if not all the stations on the SLL have seen an increase in usage not surprisingly since the Overground replaced the Southern service to London Bridge/Victoria.

Clapham High Street now has over a million users per year, during the old SLL service, it was under 500,000, while Peckham Rye has over 4.5m.

This doesn't come as a surprise to me considering the rise in passenger usage on the Sydenham line since 2010.

Yes removing a half hourly SLL service and replacing it with 4 trains per hour to different places is likely to see more people travel.

But the number would be even higher is the SLL was reintroduced and 4tph.
