TfL Ref: FOI-1375-2223

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 7 September 2022, asking for passenger statistics.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act and our information access policy.  I can confirm TfL does hold the information you require.

You can find station entry and exit passenger counts, broken down by quarter hour, on the TfL website via http://crowding.data.tfl.gov.uk/. These are updated on regular basis.

You can also access up to date daily passenger usage information for London Underground stations via the following link: Demand by Travel Mode. By following the arrows to the ‘Demand by Travel Mode’ page and clicking on ‘Demand by Station Type’, select the London Underground station of your choice and this will produce a graph illustrating the ‘Number of Taps Per Day’ . Additionally, by hovering your mouse along the base of the graph, a pop-up message will feature stating the date and number of daily taps recorded for the selected station.

In accordance with section 21 of the FOI Act, we are not obliged to supply you with a copy of the requested information as it is already accessible to you elsewhere.

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

Eva Hextall
