<strong>Barking</strong> Station Interchange<br />
2. Passenger Survey Analysis<br />
Introduction<br />
Passenger interview surveys were conducted on Tuesday 5 th February 2008 to elicit platform use<br />
and how passengers travel to and from <strong>Barking</strong> Station and their journey origins and destinations.<br />
A total of 543 responses were obtained from the 8 platforms at the station between the hours of<br />
07.00 and 13.00 including, therefore, the AM peak. The distribution of these responses is<br />
illustrated in Table 2.1 and in the graph in Figure 2.1.<br />

The survey demonstrates that most responses were received on platforms are 6, 1 and 5, and the<br />
fewest on platform 3. Platforms 5 and 6 serve the District Line and C2C London bound services. It<br />
is expected, therefore, that these would be busiest during the AM peak period. Platform 3 is<br />
served by the Hammersmith & City line, which is used by relatively few passengers compared to<br />
the District and National Rail.<br />
The Gospel Oak line plays an important role, as demonstrated by the number of responses<br />
received on Platform one. Figure 2.1 also indicates that the loadings are relatively steady<br />
throughout the day, with similar numbers of responses being obtained at 0800, 1130 and 1230. It<br />
is important to remember the role this line plays in any redevelopment of the station.<br />
Overall it is easy to pick out the peak period for travel in the morning, between 07:30 and 09:00.<br />
However, Figure 2.1 demonstrates that each individual platform has its own peak. Usage of<br />
Platforms 1, 7 and 8 correspond with the general overall trend, and are busiest during the 07:30-
