Usage

edit

This template provides a rank number for each London Underground station based on the usage statistics. It may also be used in articles about London Underground tube stations if reference needs to be made to the usage for the latest year in the text. The single unnamed parameter is the name of the station or year. The station name must be a valid tube station name. Data is currently for 2023.

This template is similar in structure to and uses the same data as {{Tubeexits list}}, though instead of giving the usage data in millions of passengers it lists the rank of the station.

Example

edit

Standalone:

{{Tubeexits list rank|Stratford station}} = 7th busiest

{{Tubeexits list rank|King's Cross St Pancras tube station}} = most used

{{Tubeexits list rank|South Kensington tube station}} = 18th busiest

{{Tubeexits list rank|Heathrow Terminal 4 tube station}} = 244th busiest

{{Tubeexits list rank |year}} = 2023

{{Tubeexits list rank}} = No Data

Combined with {{Tubeexits list}}:

In {{Tubeexits list|year}}, Oxford Circus station had an annual usage of {{Tubeexits list|Oxford Circus tube station}} million and was the {{Tubeexits list rank|Oxford Circus tube station}} station on the London Underground. = In 2023, Oxford Circus station had an annual usage of 51.11 million and was the 8th busiest station on the London Underground.

Special cases

edit

For the busiest and least busiest stations, the output wording is "most used" and "least used" respectively.

If the specified name does not match the name in the data set "No Data" will be displayed. Ensure that the name specified matches that of the relevant station article.
