2. Explanation of variations:
Notes
(2.1) Increase in Total Cost of Services reflects Cabinet and EERC budget approvals during 2008/09, the increase is mainly due to:
- Depreciation adjustment from 2007/08 asset revaluation and capital works program movement $27.3 million
- Fuel price parameter adjustment $13.6 million
- Transfer of road and related assets to local government $5.7 million
- EBA increase $6.7 million
- Costs related to recoverable external works $4.4 million
(2.2) Increase in net cost of services reflects movements in gross cost of services offset by a $23.8 million increase in revenue, due mainly to:
- Metropolitan fares and joint ticketing arrangements up $9.7 million
- External works revenue $4.7 million
- Foreign Exchange gain $1.6 million
- Infringement revenue up $1.2 million
- Interest revenue up $1.1 million
(2.3) The variation to total equity is mainly due to revaluation of land and railway infrastructure
(2.4) The increase in cash is mainly related to a cash balance held for the North Greenbushes project transferred from DPI. The project was deferred to 2009/10.
(2.5) The variation to the Approved FTE staff level is mainly due to the difficulty in recruiting Transit Officers and Train security was maintained by use of contract security services.
The Balance Sheet should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes.

- Transperth Train achieved a very high rate of growth in patronage in 2008/09 reaching 54.750 million (when the Mandurah Line was in operation for a full year), 12.7% above target.
- The proportion of property street addresses (PSAs) that were within walking distance (500 metres) of a Transperth stop providing an acceptable service level increased to 81.1% in 200 and represents an 8.1% increase over the target.
- The 2008/09 on time running result for the MerredinLink was below target as a result of delays caused by late running of the Prospector services.
- Category ‘A’ incidents per million passenger boardings and per million train kilometres were 73% and 74% below target.
- Transperth Train costs per 1000 place kilometres were higher than target due to depreciation expense following revaluation of assets, grants and transfers to local government, maintenance of track infrastructure and EBA and energy cost increases.
- The cost for Transwa rail per 1000 place kilometres in 2008/09 rose significantly above target mainly due to the increase of maintenance cost by $1.14 million and a reduction in place kilometres due to:
- the Prospector resuming services in August 2008 (after track works on the Eastern Goldfields Railway line) at lower capacity
- the Australind reducing services due to track works on the Perth to Bunbury line, but with higher capacity on the remaining services.
