<p>The Department publishes statistical information on levels of overcrowding on an
annual basis. These statistics represent overcrowding levels during a typical autumn
weekday peak and are available by train operator for central London stations and major
cities in England and Wales.</p><p> </p><p>The table below shows the average passengers
in excess of capacity (PiXC) for Thameslink services arriving and departing St. Pancras
International in autumn 2016, the latest period for which data are available.</p><p>
</p><p><strong>Passengers in excess of capacity (PiXC) for Thameslink services at
St. Pancras International; autumn 2016</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>AM
peak arrivals (07:00-09:59)</p></td><td><p>PM peak departures (16:00-18:59)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>4.3%</p></td><td><p>4.3%</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p><strong>
</strong></p><p> </p><p>Passengers in excess of capacity, or PiXC, shows the percentage
of standard class passengers above a service’s capacity at its busiest point. For
example, a train with a capacity of 90 carrying 100 standard class passengers has
10 passengers in excess of capacity, and its PiXC percentage is 10% (that is, 10 passengers
out of 100 are over the train’s capacity).</p><p> </p><p>Further disaggregation of
this data i.e. for particular services or routes are not published as they are deemed
to be commercially confidential.</p>
