Regional travel authority documents and non national rail sales for journeys on national rail are reported in Lennon (the rail industry core management information engine). For example (and the most significant one), TfL Oyster/contactless data on journeys and revenue related to usage on national rail.
Of course Lennon reports journeys as a consequence of sales reported to it. Ticketless travel won’t be reported, but Rail Staff Travel income and staff priv ticket sales are recorded in Lennon.
I expect rail usage in London and Home Counties has not recovered anywhere near 50% of pre Covid levels. Of course the London travel region accounts for the largest proportion of all national rail journeys.
My small local station a mile from Watford Junction, had (as reported on Wikipedia) 600,000 more journeys annually than Birkenhead central. Wimbledon station recorded more passengers than Liverpool Lime Street.
So while we know there are large regional variations of rail usage in pre Covid times, I expect the current usage patterns could vary between regions. Particularly for work reasons, with stations previously seeing large numbers of office based commuter journeys. Or discretionary leisure journeys to city centres.
