New figures now added in to our station comparator ... http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/smr/

You're missing Fishguard & Goodwick, new station for 2012.

Don't DOO^▸ it, keep the guard (but it probably wouldn't be a bad idea if the driver unlocked the doors on arrival at calling points).

And a few others as [thus far] I've just added new data for existing stations - probably for several years. Here's a first (2011/12 and 2012/13) look at that newer data, and I need to go back further, I suspect, with each of these.

At a cursory glance, the growth is much more patchy than in previous years. I'm seeing quite a few stations and areas where the figures look broadly unchanged or have even fallen.

Party time at Parson Street, though.

Continued strong growth on the Severn Beach Line, which supports the evidence of my own eyes.

Excepting Redland for some strange reason. That's recorded a 2% drop, whilst all other stations on the line show growth - averaging around a 12% increase.

Doesn't the fare structure make the figures for individual stations on the Severn Beach Line unreliable, though? That's why everyone generally quotes the overall line figures instead, I believe.

Whilst there is a flat fares structure with Inner and Outer Zones, tickets are still sold with the requested boarding/alighting station. There will be some instances when people ask for (e.g.) a Single to Bristol Temple Meads after boarding at Shirehampton, but will be sold one from Sea Mills as that is when the Conductor/ATE gets to them.

I was told early last year that Conductors/ATEs should always try to sell to/from the actual station a passenger is boarding/will alight at. There was a period though when they would (I think for their own convenience) sell tickets to or from either the boundary (Clifton Down) or end points (Avonmouth/Severn Beach, Bristol TM^‡) of the zones.

As I've said though, there are still instances where the actual ticket sold doesn't reflect the journey.

...and then there's the old chestnut of tickets that aren't sold, i.e. people who are given no opportunity to buy one or (as I have seen more than once) have their offer of fare money turned down because the TM^‡ is too busy.
