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.

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 Glen Waverley, Belgrave, Alamein, Lilydale line(s) at the last stop before the CBD (Richmond). It is calculated for the same travel times as Service Frequency above.
East Richmond has an average morning service patronage of 284.94 and an average evening patronage of 265.28. The raw value is 275.11.
