According to figures published in the Guardian, Haggerston saw 1,172,578
entrances/exits last year, making it busier than Clapton, Hampton,
Stoneleigh, Rochester, Paddock Wood, Andover, Mottingham and many other
stations.
Hoxton saw 1,042,854 entrances/exits, similar to Haringay, Nunhead,
Telford Central, etc.

I'm surprised by those figures. It suggests that on a normal weekday about 80
people an hour board trains at Hoxton. My guess would have been half that.
Mind you, it still means Hoxton is a lightly used station. At Leyton Undergound
Station, about 80 people board trains every five minutes!
