the period of 1950 and 2004/5. Over this span of 54 years, national rail network has been at the first
rank of favourite transportation, followed by London Underground as the second choice. The remaining

million in 1980. Regarding London Underground, this figure was constant from 1950 to 1978. However,

million to around 550 million and it hit the bottom in 1980 with under 500 million. From the year 1980
onwards, there was a significant increase in the number of all three railway system commuters. It is
