Mildura Rail Feasibility Study Final Report AECOM Figure 19: Nyah coach stop By contrast, there are some good quality facilities provided at some coach stop locations. For example, Birchip provides a sheltered coach stop on the main street with nearby toilet and baby change facilities, as shown in Figure 20. Figure 20: Birchip coach stop Manangatang (Figure 21) has also recently been upgraded with improved shelters, DDA compliant stop signage with refreshed branding, footpath upgrades and DDA tactile paving. 7 October 2010 31
Mildura Rail Feasibility Study Final Report AECOM Figure 21: Manangatang coach stop 3.4 Public Transport Use 3.4.1 Overview of patronage trends A key change since the withdrawal of passenger rail services has been the overall increase in patronage on the regional public transport network, and particularly on the regional rail network. Patronage on the V/Line network overall achieved record levels in 2008/09 with 13.17 million passenger trips recorded. Since 2005/06, the two short-distance services that serve the study area through their connecting coach services (Ballarat and Bendigo) have shown significant growth: Ballarat and Bacchus Marsh train service patronage has grown 92 percent; and Bendigo corridor rail patronage has grown 74 percent. The Swan Hill long-distance train has shown patronage growth of 295 percent, from a low base. Figure 22 shows that the Swan Hill service was the third busiest long-distance service in Victoria in 2008/09, after the Bairnsdale/Sale services and the Warrnambool service. These figures include boardings at regional centres such as Woodend, Kyneton, Castlemaine and Bendigo. A breakdown of 2009 calendar year patronage by intercity station (i.e. those further from Melbourne than the major regional centres with regular hourly services), summarised in Figure 23, shows that for long-distance travel the Swan Hill line was fourth busiest, with the Shepparton service overtaking it in terms of long-distance patronage demand. 7 October 2010 32
