Passenger statistics for rail (historical)

[Tjoeker]

Hey,

I was wondering if anyone knew a good source on passenger statistics (raw passenger amount or passenger-km)
It can be of any country from this list: France, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Austria or Italy.

I have found data for these countries from 1995 - now. (for NL even 1980 to now)

Is anyone able to help me?
It'd be amazing if it's a list, but if it's just a single year for a single country that helps as well.
Thank you.

If your current data is from 1995 onwards, I guess that you have already found the UIC database? Because that's their cut-off point for historical data.

The UN Economic Commission for Europe has some data for some countries for some years. For example, this table shows passenger-km (including cross-border trains). You can make your own table using this page. Although this data set is incomplete, it should be internally consistent (standardized).

The OECD has passenger data for a wider range of years for its members, here.  If you adjust the parameters, you can select the countries that you want going back as far as 1970:



But it's inconsistent with the UNECE data. I don't know whether it's standardized using a different method or not standardized at all.

OH YES

Thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for! 

Would love to see some earlier data, but this is incredibly valuable and complete, thanks! 


Found some very rough data on NL from 1960 too. (7300 mio pax-km if anyone is interested)
