Measured, not estimated: we publish where every train is every 15 seconds, so this is how far those trains have actually moved.
Counting how far the trains on this map
travel. Figures appear here once the day's running is under way.

This page counts the trains actually running and updates the figure live.
This is an estimate, not a count. The railway publishes
where trains are, not who is on them.
