Transport Interchange<br />

Survey In<strong>for</strong>mation<br />

Transport Interchanges help to provide seamless journeys <strong>for</strong> people travelling in <strong>London</strong>. They<br />

range from local interchange between rail and bus to National Rail interchanges. The research<br />

behind the project identified the peak pedestrian hours <strong>for</strong> this area type.<br />

Peak <strong>Pedestrian</strong> Hours (Minimum Survey Hours)<br />

08:00 to 10:00 and 16:00 to 19:00<br />

In the AM and PM peak, flows in Transport Interchange sites will often be concentrated in one<br />

direction. However this is not as pronounced as in Office and Retail sites.<br />

Recommended Survey Hours<br />

07:00 to 19:00<br />

It is possible to have breaks at 10:30 to 11:30 and 14:30 to 15:30<br />

Recommended Sample Duration<br />

10 minutes every half an hour on footways 10 samples every half an hour on crossings However,<br />

this is dependent on frequency. It it is a low frequency travel service sample periods may need to<br />

be extended<br />

Recommended Sample Days<br />

One weekday (Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday)<br />

School Holidays<br />

Surveys should be carried out in term time if possible<br />

Weather<br />

Flows are unlikely to be affected by poor weather.<br />
