Talk:New Holland Pier railway station

Loading figures
Two sources, which probably quote each other, give the daily loading in the station's best years as 30000 passengers, plus tons of other stuff and livestock.

Can anyone defend this figure, which implies 60 trains with 500 passengers on each? I suspect either a zero has snuck in or "daily" has been inadvertantly substituted for "weekly."

I'd love to be wrong, but scaling it up another way, allowing "daily" as Mon-Fri only and 50 weeks in a year only we get 30000 x 5 x 50=7,500,000.

 * Well, have you checked the cited source? That is an obvious first step that would establish whether this is a transcription error or something deeper that has, er, "snuck" in. Afterbrunel (talk) 07:06, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
