TfL Ref: 3553-2425
Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 3 February 2025 asking for information about bus passenger numbers.
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act and our information access policy. I can confirm that we the information you require. You asked:
Please can I get the 2024 data for bus ridership numbers (tap ins) from the below 2 stops / directions
- Mill Hill East (Towards Edgware)
- Medawar Drive (Towards Edgware)
- Medawar Drive (Towards Golders Green)
Please can this be differentiated between AM / PM.
Unfortunately, our ability able to provide the requested information using the same database as we used to extract the data previously is compounded by an ongoing technical issue due to the recent cyber incident. However we have extracted the data you have requested, see attached, using a different system and have tried to match the extracted data to previous requests but note that due to them being from data sources there are slight differences:
- This extract is by ‘Day of week’ rather than ‘Weekday/weekend’
- There is no month number.
- Naming convention of time periods are slightly different.
- Weekend is in time periods not all day.
- All 3 Stops with Names and Stopcodes are in this extract.
The Bus Stops have different names in the system used to answer this request as follows:
Mill Hill East Station 25975 = Mill Hill East Station
Medawar Drive 15625 = Mill Hill Research Labs
Medawar Drive 15624 = Mill Hill Research Labs
Filter applied:
- Stopcode
- Direction
- Year
- Tap count average as per previous FOI request
For the purpose of identification we have included Stop Code.
If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for any reason, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed.
Yours sincerely
