You asked
, I'm looking for historical ridership data for the London Underground (numbers of journeys per period of time) and am struggling to find any easily-accessible sources. Would you be able to point me towards a source - TfL or otherwise - that might have this information? Specifically I am looking for the number of journeys in the years 1918, 1957, 1968, and 2019.
