Question
Tube usage
For each year 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 how many people used each tube line in London?
Answer
London Underground (LU) line usage is represented by the number of boarders for each line as shown in the appended table. The total for all lines is higher than the total number of LU passenger journeys, as recorded for example in the annual report and accounts, as some boarders use more than one line to make their journey.
The underlying methodology used has evolved over the years as Transport for London (TfL) has made changes including substituting more Oyster and contactless ticketing data for survey data, but the comparison is sufficiently close over the years requested. Data for 2021 is not available for all modes yet but will be available in spring 2022.
The Waterloo & City line was suspended for most of 2020 and a large proportion of 2021 due to the impact of the pandemic and need to prioritise Central line services, resulting in no passenger data being available for 2020.
