Passenger Journeys

[Legolash2o]

Hi,

How do Network Rail calculate passenger 'journeys'? Is it a case that if a train stops at seven locations, there's six journeys? 

Which Activity codes are best used to determine if a train is at a station to pick up/drop of passengers? D, T and U?

Thanks.

Passenger Activity Codes for advertised stops...

T = Stops to pick up and set down passengers

D = Stops to set down passengers only

U = Stops to pick up passengers only

R = Request stop

There can be up to six activity codes at each timing point. Where one of the activities is an advertised passenger stop then that should be the firstcode in the list.

N.B. Don't get the above confused with -T, -U or -D. These refer to the pick up or set down of coaches and have no bearing on the passenger activity.

At the origin location the TB, by default, will indicate an advertised passenger activity unless there is a supplementary N (non-advertised), S (staff stop) or possibly OP (other operating purposes) activity. Similarly for TF at the terminating location.

Thanks for this. 

1. I'll filter out the -T, -U and -D.
2. Check if code contains T, D, U OR R.
3. Check if code is TB or TF and does not include N, S or OP.

Hopefully that'll do the trick.

Thanks again.
