Fall in Number of Passengers at Longfield Station
The latest 2017-18 figures from the Office of Rail Regulation show a fall in passenger numbers using Longfield from 629,000 to 605,000, a fall of 4% when passenger usage in Kent has slightly risen overall.  The fall is entirely attributable to decline in season ticket sales.  Perhaps this is a reflection of the ageing profile of the area, or perhaps more people are using Ebbsfleet.  Meopham and Sole Street also saw falls in season ticket sales, but Meopham did see a 2% increase in usage.
