Request for update with improved data
edit
The 2008 traffic figures have been published. Meanwhile, I dug up the precise (to the single passenger/to the ton) Eurostar and through railfreight data back to 1995. Below, I reproduce the data both as sourced Wikitable, and in the format of the .dat file used for the present graph. So,
- I request that an updated graph be made,
- I ask whether the rounding and addition of sourced data, as in the fourth and seventh column of the Wikitable below, is within the bounds of acceptable,
- If addition is okay, I propose the creation of a second graph, one that displays the evolution of those passenger and tonnage totals.
