I'm disappointed they didn't include the cable car in their figures too - I'd be curious to know which are the most- and least-used stations there.

The Dangleway's busiest terminals (2019)
1) Greenwich Peninsula (1.4m) 2) Royal Docks (1.2m) (return trips account for the discrepancy) |
Can we see the Dangleway's least busy terminals? :)

If it's for the first time, how can there be ups and downs?

It will be interesting to see how (at least) two lock-downs and on tier 2 affect the numbers for next year.
Is there any information on how the individual "line" numbers are counted for "joint" stations, e.g. Bushey with Overground and National Rail or Stratford with Overground, Underground and National Rail? |
So Acton Main Line is TfL's least used staffed station.
Incredibly, a very expensive new ticket office and entrance is being built here. The question given TfL's finances, perhaps, is not "how long before the ticket office closes?" but "will it ever open?" If the ticket office does open it must, in future, be in the running for the fewest tickets sold per annum at a TfL ticket office. There's an idea. Could we have an article, Diamond Geezer style, of London Overground's least used ticket offices. With an FOI request for TfL Rail data we may even have a list of all TfL ticket offices - possibly excluding the Dangleway. |
If I'd had to guess the ten least used stations on the DLR then Stratford International would have featured on my list. Am happy that it isn't there, though.

Back in the 1950s, there were only two kinds of rail service in London (excluding the morturi trams). Tubes and suburban trains. Now we've got such a diverse range of categories, that even Londoners are confused, and visitors are totally baffled. I think it's time to get a grip.

For the past few years there's been an explosion of residential development in an otherwise unprepossessing area near Acton Main Line station, with the promise of being 'handy for Crossrail'. It might be handy for the station, but the half hourly service of trains that actually stop there must be a disappointment to the newly increased population. But all that will change by...?

Those DLR numbers really show the untapped demand that existed for journeys crossing the river before the 2 DLR branches to Lewisham and Woolwich were built.
Impressed with the numbers for Cutty Sark, considering it's not an interchange station or a central London commuter terminus |
The Dangleway having better ridership than at least 10 tube, 10 overground and 3 DLR stations suggests that cross river transport in East London is so badly needed that even this garbage does not drive everybody away.

Patrickov - I'd assume it's almost entirely tourists rather than anyone legitimately trying to cross the river.
Malcolm - It doesn't really matter to tourists whether they're technically on the Tube or the DLR or the Overground or NR. I would think they think everything on the tube map is tube. |
I've used it to cross the river (and begrudgingly paid the extra money) quite a few times when I've needed to go from the O2 to the ExCeL or vice-versa.
I just cannot be arsed with the bun-fight that is Canning Town at rush hour. |
What's the story with Brentwood jumping six places - any idea why they lost so many passengers ?
