Passenger Numbers for Humans Only
The Greater London Authority London Datastore publishes this CSV about Transport for London (TfL) passenger numbers.

The problem is the CSV is so messy only a human could use it! What specifically is wrong?
- The first column is missing a heading (one guesses this should be "date"?)
- Dates are not of a recognizable format instead being of form: "2006/2007 - 1". One assumes this should be a month or similar (but its not entirely clear if these are months since 13 items in a year!)
- Percentage sign written into percentage column
- Large number of trailing blank rows and columns
