Usage History


Change between 1997 & 2023: +26,923 (+63.15%)

Reasons for change:
2011-12 Main portion of increase due to improved demand estimation in Centro area (extra 7,000 entries and exits in Centro infill compared to what would have been estimated using previous methodology)
2012-13 Major station refurbishment which commenced in spring 2012 is likely to have contributed to this
2020-21 The number of entries and exits distributed across stations in the West Midlands PTE area in 2020-21 has increased by 0.6% as a result of methodology improvements
