1. The figures above consists of estimates of the total number of people who used national rail tickets to arrive at or depart from the main stations in Scotland - i.e. who entered or exited the national rail system at those stations.
2. Through journeys made using tickets whose sales were recorded directly by the rail industry's central ticketing system. These figures are on a different basis from those which appear in Tables 8.1 to 8.3 because (e.g.) the figures in this table do not include estimates of journeys made using Zonecards, and they do not "double-count" passenger journeys which involved the use of services provided by different operators (see section 3 of the text).
3. The basis of these figures also differs from that of Tables 8.4 to 8.6 because the system cannot count against any of the individual destination stations within Glasgow a ticket which specifies that the destination is a particular SPT zone within Glasgow, nor can it count against any individual station of origin a ticket which specifes that the traveller may depart from any station in a particular SPT zone.
4. The calculation of station usage levels uses sales recorded in the railway ticketing system prior to their allocation to individual operators. It does not take into account any changes of train during the course of a journey.
5. Stations associated with a "group station" can show large year-to-year variations in usage figures, which reflect changes in ticket encoding rather than actual difference in passengers' journeys. For such tickets, journeys are allocated to the main station of those in the group.
6. For example, a return journey from Kirkcaldy to Edinburgh would be counted twice against Kirkcaldy (since the passenger used Kirkcaldy station twice - once when departing on the outward journey and once when arriving on completion of the return journey), and twice against Edinburgh.
