New page consolidating information from SVR annual reports, Forum and announcements
The SVR publicises its passenger numbers in its annual reports, in [[Severn Valley Railway News]] and elsewhere.
==Methodology==
Generally, the SVR counts tickets sold, with a return ticket counting as one (not two) passengers. Passes, such as those for Shareholders and Working Members, were not included.
The [[Annual Family Pass]] was included from its launch in November 2012 for nominal numbers of trips per pass.
In some years, Shareholders were included as they were provided with travel vouchers that were exchanged for tickets, but in recent years passes were issued.
