Three people may buy day tickets on services X, Y and Z, but then if they immediately change onto the X1 is that not what should be looked at?

I would hope so and think I have commented about it in the past.
I suppose it all depends on how they use the data and whether or not the 2006 changes have impacted on travel patterns to an extent that any data collected is skewed or biased.

I mentioned before about the changes in 2006 (both service and ticket structures) impacting on me attending midweek games.
There won't be any actual data collected by these new machines to report on that, therefore despite there possibly being some demand to reinstate a direct bus, any analysis from QR tickets wont pick this up.
I wont be the only one in that position and it won't just be limited to passengers coming back from the match either.

So many changes in 2006 based on data where its accuracy has to be questioned.
