West Anglia station counts
Annual passenger counts "on the door" at West Anglia stations for West Anglia Route Group, then annualised to compare with ORR official estimates based on point-to-point and zonal ticket sales. Generally ORR data significantly under-estimates actual station usage. The reasons for this are described in presentations and in the "Stations Count" Modern Railways article
