RODS dataset

Date published: 21 November 2023

You asked

Follow-up to TfL Ref: 2559-2324. Many thanks for your reply and the information you provided. I noticed that the data that could be accessed through the website is from 2017. I would like to know if we could get the dataset in the previous years, for example, from 2003 to 2011, However, I also fully understand that data is not always readily available. Among all the data, what I need the most is the information on “Age, gender, mobility category by entry station-zone-time of day XXX year”, “Average journey time by entry station-zone-time of day XXX year”, “Distance travelled by entry station-zone-line-purpose-time of day-ticket type XXX year” and “Journey frequency by entry station-zone-purpose-time of day-ticket type XXX year”. I truly appreciate your valuable time and support and look forward to hearing from you.
