From my, admittedly infrequent, observations, both Hoxton and
Haggerston have turned out to be white elephants.

According to figures published in the Guardian, Haggerston saw 1,172,578
entrances/exits last year, making it busier than Clapton, Hampton,
Stoneleigh, Rochester, Paddock Wood, Andover, Mottingham and many other
stations.

Hoxton saw 1,042,854 entrances/exits, similar to Haringay, Nunhead,
Telford Central, etc.

Some curious omissions and errors on that map. I couldn't find Dullingham or
Shepreth. Foxton and Royston were badly mislocated with Foxton inside the
City of Cambridge. The problem appears from the table to be with bad
postcodes. Shepreth and Meldreth have the same one, for example.

I'm surprised by those figures. It suggests that on a normal weekday about 80
people an hour board trains at Hoxton. My guess would have been half that.
Mind you, it still means Hoxton is a lightly used station. At Leyton Undergound
Station, about 80 people board trains every five minutes!
