Title: Looking for station usage data

2003 - 2004 data set missing.  Does anyone have a copy or know where I can find one?

It's been missing for many years, so I'm not sure - maybe it was never done.

From the ORR's FAQs (http://orr.gov.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0007/11995/station-usage-faqs.pdf)

Why are there no estimates of station usage for 2003-04?

Due to improvements in the methodology, estimates of station usage for 2003-04 were not produced, resulting in a gap in the series. Please download the methodological report for 2004-05 for further details of the changes to the data.

Figures for April 2014 to March 2015 published and documented elsewhere on this site, and added into the stats and graphs; I also have the data files for the year to March 2003 and prior - but adding them in is none-trivial as keys such as the three letter code are missing.

For graphs, see: http://www.wellho.net/demo/railuse.php?place=NE and replace "NE" with the first one or two letters of your postcode area - for example CF to see how the Cardiff area's doing or PL for Plymouth, G for Glasgow.

For individual stations, see http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/smr/CPM.html and replace "CPM" with the three letter code you're looking for.   Note that you can navigate to nearby stations, and stations with similar ticket numbers, within this application.
