Station entries and exits are an estimation of the number of passenger journeys with an origin or final destination of Nuneaton respectively. The methodology applied makes an assumption that the number of station entries and exits are equal.
Journeys in which a passenger changes from one train to another at Nuneaton are included as interchanges. Passengers on trains serving Nuneaton who do not board or alight at this station are not included in these statistics.
