Statistics

Traveltrain's annual patronage is approximately 969,000. Whilst proportionately smaller than other regional rail services, relative to population, this is largely as Traveltrain caters to a touring market more so than other operators.

In 2007-08 the subsidy for the Brisbane-Cairns route was $130 million, or $900 per passenger. In 2001-02 it was $270.

Routes

There are six passenger routes in the Traveltrain system (not including tourist trains).
