Interesting how little used the Northern Line seems to be used between
London Bridge and Kennington until the evening peak, also the Jubilee north
of Canary Wharf.

Also the Circle and Hammersmith from Hammersmith to Paddington is
exceedingly lightly used outside the peaks, which raises the question of
why they don't continue running the present service in the peaks but
either revert to the old service outside the peaks, or run Hamm -
Moorgate - Temple - Bayswater - Moorgate - Barking.

Err the data is 500k journeys on weekday. Probably about 1/6th of
average weekday patronage back then.

It dates from 2009.


Ah, and the Circle only became its current shape in December 2009. Okay,
scrub the above. Thanks.

It dates from 2009.

It is based on Oyster and Oyster usage by people using NR only stepped
up significantly after Jan 2010 when Oyster was extended to NR
journeys. Therefore a load of journeys will simply be missing.

It's not clear if Freedom Pass usage (post 0930) is in the data or
not.

It's a nice exercise but there are loads of reasons why it is not
representative of 2009's reality never mind today's. An updated model
with more jnys / more recent data would probably give a more startling
answer. Including Overground and DLR would also be fun.


Oh! I missed that the data was so old. Doesn't explain the Northern or
Jubilee lines though.

Notwithstanding your other points, if it's a random sample of 1/6th then
the fact it's not 100% doesn't matter at all when visualising relative
usage from one line to another.
