Have been browsing through Office of Rail Regulation's station usage statistics. As you can see, there was a large climb from 2004, with a peak at over one million total entries and exits in 2007 to 2008. The usage has been falling gradually since but is still 200,000 or so over the 2005/2006 levels. Of coarse, the recent decline is amounting to just under 100,000 and leads one to wonder, was it the economic climate (including the loss of Jobs in the city center for example), the change of timetable which angered many passengers (it happened before this site was made,) Peak time overcrowding or shift to Bromley South which caused the fall? To put the figures into perspective from the 2009/2010 data the busiest station is London Waterloo with 86,397,666 entries and exits, Bromley South has 5,537,652 and Bromley North is ranked 631st and Sundridge Park 957th out of Britain's 2525 stations.
