Summary

Description

Train operators provide data on passenger numbers to the Department for Transport (DfT) to allow for the monitoring of train crowding levels. In the past DfT monitored crowding for London commuter services under a regime known as ‘passengers in excess of capacity’ (PiXC) and this has formed the basis of the crowding statistics published in National rail trends.
