Rail passenger flows between two circles in Great Britain. And GVA in those circles as a bonus.
Select two radiuses and click on the map.
Radius 1: km.
Radius 2: km.
Estimated population in 2025 within circle 1: , circle 2: .
Estimated GVA in 2022 within circle 1: , circle 2: .
Estimated GVA per resident within circle 1: , circle 2: .
If you don't know why per resident is importantly different to per worker you should not draw small circles.
Estimated rail journeys between stations within the two circles (whose centres are km/ miles apart) in 2022/23:

The population data is the Global Human Settlement Layer population grid for 2025. GVA is calculated from the ONS Small Area GVA estimates. Rail passenger flows are calculated from the version of the ORR's Origin-Destination Matrix for 2022/23 that is republished for download without registration.
The source data claims to adjust for split ticketing (eg. a ticket from Birmingham to Derby and Derby to Leeds bought together counts only as a single journey from Birmingham to Leeds). A return journey from Birmingham to Leeds counts as two journeys in this data.
