You asked
Hello Transport for London
In response to an FOI request about the number of station-to-station London Underground journeys for 2023, which someone shared on their blog.
https://clondoner92.blogspot.com/2024/06/tfl-publishes-most-common-london.html
Would you be able to publish the rest of the station-to-station journeys (London Underground included) for other combined modes such as the Docklands Light Rail, London Overground, Elizabeth line and National Rail on one spreadsheet document, please?
How are these station-to-station journeys calculated?
Regards

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 19th June 2024, detailed below.
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy.

I can confirm that we hold the information you require, which is provided in the attached spreadsheet. This provides the total counts for origin destination pairs for all rail journeys we have data for in 2023. Note that these counts are derived from completed journeys where the customer tapped in and out using either an Oyster card or a contactless payment card. Journeys completed using a paper ticket, and incomplete journeys (i.e. where the passenger did not tap in or out for whatever reason) are not captured in the data.
If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for any 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,
