Dear Mr Gillett

TfL Ref: FOI-1813-1213

Thank you for your email received by Transport for London (TfL) on 24
January 2013 asking for information about passenger usage of the London
Underground and DLR stations for the past 50 years.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of
the Freedom of Information Act and TfL’s information access policy.  I can
confirm TfL holds some of the information you require. You asked for:

It would be very helpful for me to get hold of figures of the passenger
usage of all London Underground & DLR stations for some of this period.

I would like data for yearly passenger numbers at all London Underground /
DLR stations.

Please find the yearly DLR passenger data attached. Please note that data
is only available from 2000 to present.

Regarding the LU data, we have included both RODS (Rolling Origin &
Destination Survey) and counts data.

The RODS data, tabs 1998 – 2011 inclusive, is for Monday to Friday. Please
note Saturdays or Sundays have not been included, as these data sets do
not go back as far and therefore comparison would not be possible.

Before 1998 the RODS survey did not exist and data was generally collected
only once a decade. We have included the counts data on the spreadsheet to
cover the years 1971/81 and 91. For these surveys we would have had
surveyors standing at the entrances to stations counting the number of
people entering and exiting the station on any one day. 

It should be noted that RODS data always refers to a day in November and
this is not the case with the counts data which could have been collected
at any time of the year. 

If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable
to access it for some reason, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to
appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would
like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed.

Yours sincerely
