[edit] 4th least used station

My understanding is that the station is actually the 4th lowest in terms of statistics for ticket sales. The ticket sales statistics, however, only indicate tickets actually sold to "Dorking West", whereas most tickets are sold for going here are technically for "Dorking stations" and can be used for any of the three. Consequently these are not allocated to Dorking West (they may be given to Dorking though).

Of course statistics take on a life of their own in the media, but I'd treat the reports that this is the "4th least used station" in the country with deep scepticism. Timrollpickering 14:32, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
