==Methodology==
Generally, the SVR counts tickets sold, with a return ticket counting as one (not two) passengers. Passes allowing unlimited travel, such as those for Shareholders shareholders and Working Membersworking 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 shareholders eligible for a set number of free journeys were provided with travel vouchers that were exchanged for tickets and were thus included, but in recent years passes were issued instead.

During 2016 passenger surveys identified forms of ticket and passes used, and the passenger number was recalculated to an estimated 252,330 (245,800 - 2015). This is directly comparable to the era when Shareholders’ shareholders’ travel vouchers were exchanged for tickets.
