As you may have guessed from the title, this is a Crossrail question, although involves other lines as well. When it opens, how will the numbers for national rail statistics be counted when Farringdon will include Barbican and Liverpool Street will include Moorgate?

Maybe by also looking at smart card records to know the location of the other end of the passengers' journey, or destination stations if they used paper tickets? |

Wifi can also be used to track passenger location around stations, although I don't know how you could avoid double counting with that as there is no way to match a smartcard and wifi device.*
*well, in theory there is, but TfL either don't have the necessary data (e.g. unregistered Oyster cards) or purposefully choose not to access/track it for privacy reasons (e.g. they don't record anything about the wifi devices beyond what is required to distinguish it from other devices on the system at the same time and delete even this when they no longer need it).

It will probably still be just entry and exits through ticket gates on sample counts. How do they separate passengers using underground or BR at Barking or Upminster.
How do BR do it at hundreds of unmanned stations.
