<p>The Department for Transport (DfT) holds information on the number of passengers
on board services from Woking to London when they reach London, however information
for individual routes is considered commercially confidential and so cannot be released.
An exception to this are those services which appear in the ‘Top 10 overcrowded trains’
lists that are published, which regularly include services between Woking and London
Waterloo, and I recently travelled on this route to experience the crowding on it.</p><p>
</p><p>The Department does not hold information on crowding on services leaving Woking
which do not go to London.</p><p> </p><p>DfT publishes statistics showing overall
passenger numbers and crowding levels on the route into London Waterloo in the publication
<em>Rail passenger numbers and crowding on weekdays in major cities in England and
Wales: 2013</em>, which is available in the Libraries of the House and online at <a
