Ticket usage

[edit]

As with the ongoing discussion of ticket usage, apparently Kirkgate during the 2004-2005 period only had 372 users - just over 1 user a day. Obviously this figure is very wrong.:-) :) Simply south 23:05, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, I have deleted these figures and hopefully someone will substitute the correct ones. --JustinSmith (talk) 20:26, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The figures are "correct", in that they are the officially reported figures from the Office of Rail Regulation. I have therefore re-instated them. Newer statistics use a different methodology and therefore more accurately reflect the usage, and this is explained in the article. NRTurner (talk) 08:28, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That is ridiculous the figures are obviously wrong or, at an absolute minimum, totally misleading. It`s at times like this that I wonder whether Wikipedia is a bit of a joke, but I can`t be bothered to get into a revision war.--JustinSmith (talk) 15:31, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is absolutely no way that a city centre station like this, with direct services to Leeds, Huddersfield and Sheffield, would see fewer than 1000 passengers per year. Maybe that's the "official" figure, which has been used to prepare the "official" excuse for making it unstaffed? To me, they appear to be out by a factor of 1000. That is, if they were 0.372 million, 0.564 million and 0.769 million, they'd appear much more realistic - so perhaps the person compiling the source data simply "forgot" to type the "0." part? --Redrose64 (talk) 16:46, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
As I have said previously here, the methodology has changed. I imagine in the past any tickets to 'Wakefield Stations' would have been taken to mean Wakefield Westgate until recently, hence the jump up to almost half a million passengers in 2008/9 when the statistics were gathered more carefully. We should keep the statistics in there as they are official numbers from ORR, but some text in the main article should explain the anomaly. NRTurner (talk) 09:30, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Service alterations

[edit]

I have made alterations to the train services through Wakefield Kirkgate as the Huddersfield services no longer head out to Leeds. They are advertised and announced as terminating at Huddersfield. Northern Rail no longer serve Selby from Wakefield Kirkgate. M J Duly 17:08, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
