This case study first highlights the challenges of estimating the relevant counterfactual: what would London Underground passenger journeys be if the terrorist attack not occurred? The second challenge involved explaining passenger journey reductions; our approach was to explore alternative explanations - such as preexisting trends, seasonal changes, economic growth, special events, and station closures following the attack - for the reduction in passenger journeys following the attacks. We were unable to either rule out or confirm due to a lack of data the common sense explanation that people were more fearful of using the London Underground in the aftermath of the attacks.
