→Passenger numbers: 2021 numbers
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 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. This became the [[Loyalty Pass]] in April 2020.
In some years, 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.
