but there are some other interesting gains, such as the continued success of Bicester Town. 

Shouldn't Bicester Town now be in the list of the few non-FGW^▸ (First Great Western) stations? As it is now operated by Chiltern Railways.

Industryinsider, you seem to have left out stations E-I on your first tables and thus leaving some stations out on your next set of tables.

Have you got your browser on zoom?  I did with Internet Explorer in order to read some of the figures but then discovered there were no scroll bars which meant the far right table - E to I was off the screen with no way to get to it.

Good to see Taplow with 8.3% increase, now if only we had a Sunday service!

I did wonder about that, but it is listed in the datasheet as FGW still - I'm wondering if that's an error, or is it that technically FGW still operate the stations despite not running any services there?  The FGW style help points are still installed at Islip and Bicester?  We'll see if it changes next year!

Yes, as 'bobm' says, the whole of the data is listed and displays OK on my screen using Firefox and a 1680x1050 screen resolution, but that might not be case on all browsers/screen sizes, so you might have to scroll over to see it.

Bicester T was still an FGW^▸ (First Great Western) station during the collection of those figures....

[IndustryInsider]

Yes, I suppose it was - though not for the majority of the period the data was collected for.  But it probably is the owner at the start of the period that is listed rather than at the end of it.

The Dorking figures should be taken with a pinch of salt and as suggested previously, the figures are confused by being grouped under Dorking stations. On some of the peak services, you can get as many passengers boarding 1 train on 1 day as the figures show for the entire year! (Dorking West is my closest station). Bobm, the number of trains serving Dorking hasn't changed in recent years.

Also interestingly I have noticed several stations where I have personally interchanged yet none are recorded, specifically Stapleton road and Lawrence hill (when traveling between Bristol parkway and the Severn beach line these are often quicker than going in to temple meads as advised by the national rail website!).

The interchange information is iffy at best and really can't be relied upon, although it does at least accept Clapham Junction as #1 which is a start. The assumption is that everyone would change at BRI^» (Bristol Temple Meads - next trains) even though that is far from true; I once changed at both on the same journey just so I could say I'd stood on their platforms!

Of course, the worst one has to be Fishguard Harbour from 2007-08 (I think there may be a couple of others too?), with the incredible interchange value of -1...

Those aliens again, they keep on spiriting folk away.
