But they have added some new ones as well, and this one is perhaps the most interesting (from the main report):
Figure 25: Hourly Mean Seating Load Factor Per Service Per Day of Count (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/image_data/file/191512/Figure23-SeatLoadFactorDayofCount.svg) The small size of the peak in the non-London loadings, and how the weekend (which now includes Friday) levels are higher from mid-morning, surprises me!
