Things take longer to happen than you think they will, and then they happen faster than you thought they could.

To get a full picture of how busy a station is you also need to add the numbers changing train at a station. Reading's 4 million odd passengers changing trains means there's an even bigger gap between it and number 3
The top ten also shows how appallingly inadequate Oxford is for the number of passengers it handles. 8 million through two and two half platforms !

While I totally agree with you about Oxford, I use it ever day, it does have 4 platforms even if 2 of them are of limited use as they face the wrong way:-)

Mind you, the platforms at Bath were widened as part of the "Great Western Electrification" so that the overhead catenary stuff and pantographs won't interfere with the historic / being kept platform canopy. Last night, BaNES council voted to go ahead with their "Clean Air Zone" which will affect buses, taxis and HGVs, but not private cars. I don't think they have the authority (or the means) to charge trains running on Diesel engines, do they? Bath Clean Air Zone is probably a subject for another thread. And in the meantime, look at the passenger numbers at Windsor and Eton Central - not doing too badly for a single 2 or 3 carriage train / platform. I recall a comment that at one time it was the highest passenger count per metre of platform anywhere on the GWR▸ network - has anybody got active platform length data?

Interesting to see what level of increase the 'Sparks Effect' has had on the local stations now served predominantly by electric trains, and the extra attraction of them:
Cholsey 290000 Up 6.7% Goring 433000 Up 7.2% Pangbourne 488000 Up 2.6% Tilehurst 593000 Up 7.9%
Taplow 312000 Up 11% Burnham 1397000 Up 10.8%
Langley 866000 Up 6.2% Iver 259000 Up 13.8% West Drayton 2197000 Up 7.4% Hayes & Harlington 4204000 Up 10.5% Southall 3122000 Up 17.5% Hanwell 389000 Up 1.4% West Ealing 1078000 Up 4.2% Ealing Broadway 6555000 Up 6.3% Acton Main Line 311000 Up 18%
So, all stations rising, most of them very healthily and well above the national average, which was 3%, with only Hanwell and (surprisingly) Pangbourne beneath that.

The figures for Tilehurst to Cholsey are all the more remarkable because I know a number of people who travel less to Oxford due to the fractured nature of the service resulting from curtailing electrification (and therefore the reduced volume of through trains).

Yes, and it would be easy to take that anecdotal evidence as basis for a 'not so many people use the train now' approach. The figure for all four stations will also be lower that it actually is, with no barriers and precious few ticket checks meaning a number of free journeys on top of the paid for ones.
