Summary
This is an official statistical release by the Office of Rail and Road (ORR), the independent safety and economic regulator for Britain's railways, providing annual estimates of passenger usage at individual stations across Great Britain. The data are derived from ticket sales and other modelling sources, and are widely used by transport planners, local authorities, and researchers requiring footfall proxies. Within the context of food environment research, these figures may be applied to estimate the reach and exposure of station-based food retail and advertising environments.
UK applicability
This dataset is wholly UK-specific, covering stations across Great Britain, and is directly applicable to any research or policy work assessing the scale and reach of food environments located within or adjacent to railway stations. It is a recognised official statistic produced under the Code of Practice for Statistics.
Key measures
Annual station entries and exits (passenger movements); station-level footfall estimates
Outcomes reported
The report estimates the number of entries and exits at each railway station in Great Britain over a given year, providing a measure of passenger footfall. These figures are used to assess station usage patterns across the national rail network.
