Service Frequency
Service frequency is calculated as the mean number of services per hour in two periods of travel:
-
Between 7 and 10am towards Flinders Street, shown in blue.
-
Between 4 and 7pm away from Flinders Street, shown in green.
The chart is also split by direction of travel, which in Melbourne’s radial network is either towards or away from Flinders street.
The mean values of these two periods are shown as dashed lines, and the mean of those two numbers is the final score.
Alamein has a morning frequency of 3.72 and an evening frequency of 3.68. The raw value is therefore 3.7
Train Line Patronage
Note
Train Line Patronage is also referred to as ‘Spare Line Capacity’ in some other sections of this report dealing with transformed (final) scores.
This is because higher patronage values imply a line is more congested, and accordingly the station receives a lower line capacity score. This is explained in the methodology.
The chart below shows the average patronage on the Alamein line(s) at the last stop before the CBD (Richmond). It is calculated for the same travel times as Service Frequency above.
Alamein has an average morning service patronage of 294.97 and an average evening patronage of 118.55. The raw value is 206.76.

Notes on Data Visualisation
OpenStreetMap point locations were joined to polygon dwelling data for this visualisation. Some points could not be joined and are displayed as circles on the map.
Some amenities are within the same building, e.g. multiple shops in shopping centres. In these cases, the building is assigned a colour corresponding to the most common amenity within it.
The plot below visualises the number of local services within the station catchment. Data is drawn from OpenStreetMaps classifications. The black dotted lines represent the average for each category across all stations included in the model.
Calculation of the final score for local services uses an index measure. It is described in more detail in the methodology.
