Read more…The income for TfL from the London Underground has risen steadily over the past eight years. It has reached its peak at £2.77 billion this year, up by 5% from the previous year. As well as the ease of payment and fast links, initiatives like fare freezes may have encouraged people to travel more on the London Underground.

How busy an Underground station is is reported based on the number of passenger entries and exits in a year. With King’s Cross St Pancras linking six Underground lines, it’s no surprise that this station has the most people traveling through it each year, with 97.9 million people. Closely following is Waterloo station, with 91.3 million visitors every year. While these two top stations are likely to have a lot of people travelling via the Tube due to train departures, Oxford Circus at third place serves only three Underground lines.
