(3) if he will list the expected maximum number of passengers to be carried by each London Underground line per day (a) Monday to Friday and (b) at weekends in 2000. [61143]
§ Ms Glenda JacksonSuch figures could be obtained only at disproportionate cost. They would depend critically on the assumptions made, especially about trip length. (For example, average trip length varies by line: if all customers were to travel just one stop more could be carried than if they all travelled several stops.)
The table gives the figures available from London Transport for the number of train kilometres planned to be run per line per annum.
