That's not including T4 rail station...

When the latest TfL station passenger numbers were released recently, T4 not surprisingly was bottom of the list, but, surprisingly the number of passengers was not zero.

160 passengers passed through the station in the last 12 months, which suggests that some trains at least have stopped there.

I haven't seen the data and have no idea how there has been the 160, but is the data not entrances/exits? Hence strictly it doesn't necessarily imply that some trains have been in passengers service there, only that there have been 160 taps on the Oyster readers (or perhaps 80 in and the same 80 out?)

That's not the results for heathrow terminal T4 RAIL Station?

Wikipedia says the rail Station had 162 entrances and exits for 2020/21

I've been back to Hatton Cross recently and no-one is getting on the trains there in order to get to HT4 but the trains are running there I think, as expected, without any passengers.

Some of you may be interested in this opinion piece by Simon Calder:

unfortunately, it ignores the fate of the stations.

I would have thought it to be a safe assumption that if the terminal is closed to flights then the station within it is also closed, therefore it indirectly doesn't ignore them.

Just seen a post on social media that it is open again. Who is going to be first to do tube challenge with the new stations?

Good point. Given the understandable concerns over the current GWR approach, do we have a generally-accepted consensus on rules/results for a parallel challenge that are formally documented either here or on ExplorerTicket? If not, do people here feel that it could be worthwhile to create that? Thanks.
