British Railways Map An interactive map of Great Britain’s rail network

Built with OpenData from the Ordnance Survey and statistics from the Office of Rail Regulation.

The map itself highlights the routes operated by each train operating company, the estimated usage of each station in Great Britain as well as providing a range of other statistics about the British rail network. Data is for the period 2012-2013.

In this presentation, I will attempt to highlight a range of facts and figures, to supplement information found on the map itself, which relate to the stations found on Great Britain’s rail network!

• Dorking West is the station with highest annual percentage change in terms of passenger entries and exits (from 2011-2012 to 2012-2013) with an increase from 16 to 55,774 entries and exits. *

• As a percentage, the biggest fall in entries and exits between 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 occurred at Shippea Hill (376 to 50). Kildonan (240 to 62) and Dalmarnock ** (79,558 to 21,506) saw the second and third greatest percentage decrease.


* Increase due, primarily, to the way tickets are issued and the way in which the statistics have been gathered.

** Station closed for a long period from June 2012.




British Railways Map Annual increase and decrease








































































































































































































































































• Of the 1,128 entries and exits at Gainsborough Central, Lincolnshire, in 2012-2013, 98.94% used a full fare ticket (as opposed to a reduced fare or season ticket). The highest percentage of any station where the data is available.

• Of the 104,504 entries and exits at Newquay, Cornwall, in 2012-2013, 98.13% used a reduced fare ticket (as opposed to a full fare or season ticket). The highest percentage of any station with more than 1,000 entries and exits. Only Quintrel Downs, Cornwall, with 99.02% of 814 people has a higher percentage.

• Of the 28,102 entries and exits in 2012-2013 at Doleham, East Sussex, 27,646 used a season ticket. The highest percentage, 98.38%, of any station. This may, to a large extent, be due to the fact that there are no ticket issuing facilities located here.
