Annualised entry/exit counts were recorded at 270 stations in 2024.[a][b] In 2024, Waterloo was the busiest station on the network, used by over 4.92 million passengers, while Roding Valley was the least used with 172,268 passengers.[c] Data for 2024 was published on 8 October 2025.[1]
This table shows the busiest stations with over 33 million entries and exits in 2024.
