Request for update with improved data
The 2008 traffic figures have been published. Meanwhile, I dug up the precise (to the single passenger/to the ton) Eurostar and through railfreight data back to 1995. Below, I reproduce the data both as sourced Wikitable, and in the format of the .dat file used for the present graph. So,


 * 1) I request that an updated graph be made,
 * 2) I ask whether the rounding and addition of sourced data, as in the fourth and seventh column of the Wikitable below, is within the bounds of acceptable,
 * 3) If addition is okay, I propose the creation of a second graph, one that displays the evolution of those passenger and tonnage totals.

Total (estimated, millions) !! by through freight trains (tonnes)!! by Eurotunnel Truck Shuttles (estimated, million tonnes) !! Total (estimated, million tonnes) only passengers taking Eurostar to cross the Channel Estimated value: Eurotunnel switched to pricing through railfreight per train, rather than per tonne, and counts traffic accordingly.
