It was. The clue is given in the URL for the link - "disused
stations". Wake up at the back.

Yeah but its not a tube station.


You didn't say you were only interested in tube stations. This group
covers all transport in London.

Quietest tube station: according to the latest official figures (for
2005), Heathrow Terminal 4.

I'm surprised that Heathrow T4 is the quietest Underground station. Given
the volume of people who travel to/from Heathrow, I wonder if a lot of them
are using Heathrow Express, either all the way to Paddington or else between
T4 and T123 where they change to Picadilly line.

Presumably the quietest Underground station in all senses of the word
"quietest" is Alwdych: not only is it disused but (unlike Museum, Down
Street, Marlborough Road etc) it is also on a closed line so it doesn't even
have any trains passing through it.

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.
