Annual regional train station patronage (station entries)

Brief description

Total annual patronage (station entries) for Victorian regional train stations, to allow users to analyse Victorian regional train patronage by station, day type, time of day and total annual.




**Data Quality**

Patronage estimates are rounded to nearest 50 and values less than 50 are rounded up to 50\\.

Patronage estimates for stations on the myki network are derived from myki ticketing data and factored up to account for the transaction rate. The transaction rate is determined by conductor counts and by barrier count data at gated stations.

Patronage estimates for stations outside the myki network are derived from manual conductor counts. Accuracy of counts may be impacted by crowding levels and other issues.

The sum of station entries for all regional stations differs from total regional train patronage because station entries to board regional services at metropolitan train stations, apart from Southern Cross, are not included.

Station entries for Southern Cross station only includes counts of passengers entering the gates to platforms 1 to 8, where regional train services depart.
