Sorry I should of made it clear.

And you should *have* said "should have", not "should of" ;-)


I'm surprised that Heathrow T4 is the quietest Underground
station.

Read my post again. It *was* the quietest station in 2005.

Remember this? ....

Ah. Sorry. Your posting just referred to "latest official figures
(for 2005)", without drawing attention to 2005 being a special
year for T4 station. Now I understand ;-)


PS: I've corrected "quiestest" to "quietest" in the thread title
- can't believe I didn't spot that till now!


So Heathrow Terminal 4 gets less passengers than Rodney Valley?

[sigh] I suppose I have to spell this out to you. In the last
set of official stats from LU, which were for the year 2005,
Terminal 4 was listed as having NO passengers (which you would
have realised if you had followed the links I provided) because it
was closed all year while the junction to the new Terminal 5
station was constructed. (Actually I think it operated for the
first week of January 2005, but that doesn't seem to have
registered in the stats.) Now that Terminal 4 is open again, and based
on other station
stats for 2005, it is likely that Roding Valley (NOT Rodney
Valley) currently has the fewest passengers.

You need to be more precise in wording questions of this sort in
this group if you are to avoid being misled by correct but
misleading answers! Happy New Year.


Sorry for being so vague.......am I forgiven?


It's still (just) the festive season, so, yes!
