Notes

1. The method of calculating usage changed in 2018 from estimates based on survey counts carried out on a few days to actual counts of gate entry date for each day.[2]
2. Bank and Monument stations operate as a combined station with shared usage statistics.
3. The two Paddington stations operate as a combined station with shared usage statistics.
4. The ranking of Tottenham Court Road was affected in 2011, as the Northern Line was not stopping there between 3 April and 28 November, and in 2015, as the Central line was not stopping there between 5 January and 7 December.
