The bureau slightly perturbs every cell to keep individuals unidentifiable, so pieces of a table may not reach its total. Numbers here are reproduced as published, never summed by us. Signature project ## Five columns into one We loaded the station patronage files for FY18-19 to FY24-25: 1,555 rows, one per station per year, each with five time-band columns of average entries. pandas.melt, keeping the year and station as identifiers, turned them into 7,775 rows of year, station, band and value, one row per measurement. Grouping that long table by band shows how Epping's day changed. | Band | FY18-19 | FY24-25 | Change | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Before the morning peak | 450 | 300 | Down 33.3% | | Morning peak | 1,250 | 900 | Down 28.0% | | Interpeak | 700 | 650 | Down 7.1% | | Afternoon peak | 700 | 650 | Down 7.1% | | Late | 100 | 100 | No change | ### The early trains lost most Entries before and during the morning peak fell by about a third and over a quarter, while the middle of the day and the afternoon fell by just 7.1%. ### Across the network The median station's morning peak band fell from 875 to 600 over the same years, and its interpeak band from 350 to 300, so Epping follows a wider pattern. ### Epping's place In FY24-25, 54 stations had a higher morning peak figure than Epping, but only 36 a higher interpeak figure. Its annual total, 748,150 entries, ranked 49th of 222. ### The melt that looks right and is not Leave the station name out of the identifier columns and melt still returns 7,775 rows with sensible-looking numbers. But every row has lost the station it came from, so any group-by afterwards silently mixes all stations together. Checking the row count is not enough; check that each row can still be traced. The band figures are the publisher's estimates, rounded to the nearest 50, and the file does not state the clock hours of each band, so we report the bands by name only. We never add bands together into a total. Melting, grouping and the percentage changes are our own calculation. In pandas ## Wide for reading, long for analysis A wide table puts one kind of measurement in several columns. A long table gives each measurement its own row with a label saying what it is. pandas.melt goes from wide to long; pivot goes back. | Argument | Set to | Why | | --- | --- | --- | | id_vars | Fin_year, Stop_name | Columns copied onto every new row so each value stays traceable | | value_vars | The five Pax band columns | The columns to fold into rows | | var_name | band | Name for the new label column | | value_name | entries | Name for the new number column | Once the data is long, one group-by over band and year answers questions that would need five separate column calculations in the wide layout, and charts with one line per band need almost no code. Spreadsheet users meet the same idea as "unpivot", and SQL users as UNPIVOT or a union of selects. ### Younger learners Turn a times table grid into a list of facts, "3 times 4 is 12", and notice that nothing is lost. ### Secondary students Melt the station file in pandas, then make the wrong melt on purpose and find the damage. ### Adults Unpivot a monthly report so that one pivot table or chart can answer every question. Around Epping ## A station and eleven schools From the patronage file and the 2025 school locations file. ### Epping station Epping recorded 748,150 entries in FY24-25 against 887,650 in FY18-19, with 48 stations ahead of it. ### Weekdays The file's average weekday figure for Epping fell from 3,050 entries in FY18-19 to 2,450 in FY24-25. ### Schools Eleven open schools lie inside Epping, six of them government, including Meadowglen Primary School, Harvest Home Primary School and Lalor North Secondary College. Term 3, 2027 Victorian government schools run Term 3 from Monday 12 July to Friday 17 September 2027, a natural point to start or change a course.

[Data Analysis Course](/courses/data-analysis-mastery-course-college)[Data and AI Analytics for Non-Programmers (Excel, Sheets, Power BI)](/courses/data-and-ai-analytics-for-non-programmers-course)Python and AI ## Will an AI reshape the data for an Epping learner? Readily, and that is why the learner needs to know what a correct result looks like. Ask an assistant to "turn the time bands into rows" and it will produce a melt in one line. Whether it kept the station name as an identifier is a detail it may skip, and the output has the right number of rows either way. A learner who has broken a melt on purpose knows to check the identifier columns, not just the row count. That small check is the difference between a chart of Epping and a chart of every station blended into one. Our Epping classes treat AI as a fast typist and the learner as the person responsible for the answer. The longer argument is in [why teenagers should still learn to code in 2026](/blog/is-coding-worth-learning-2026). Delivery ## Online lessons for Epping Lessons are live over video, so learners take part from home. ### Real code, real time Learners code on their own computers and share the screen, and the teacher responds to what they write. ### In step with school Courses follow the Victorian terms and stop for each holiday. ### A full first lesson The free trial is a complete class; then the teacher recommends a course and a weekly slot. ### Groups by level Groups contain fifteen to twenty learners at a similar stage. ### A weekly habit Two lessons each week on fixed days, about eight a month, with holidays set out early. ### Teachers in India Teachers work in India, so a 3:30pm Epping class in daylight saving is 10am India time, and 11am in Melbourne winter. Melbourne clocks Daylight saving in Melbourne began on Sunday 4 October 2026 and ends on Sunday 4 April 2027. India keeps one time all year, so lesson times are always confirmed in Melbourne time. Fees ## Epping class fees Three numbers explain the cost. First class**USD 0** One free lesson that ends with an honest next step. Group tuition**USD 100** Four weeks of group lessons, normally eight, in a group of fifteen to twenty. Private tuition**USD 150** Roughly eight one-to-one lessons in a month. Outside India we bill in US dollars, so Epping families pay the same as families anywhere else abroad. Nothing is due until the trial has agreed the course and time; the pricing page covers holidays, missed lessons and changing between group and private.

FAQ ## Epping coding and Python questions Questions Epping families and adult learners raise with us. ### How many people live in Epping, Victoria? The 2021 Census QuickStats for the Epping (Vic.) suburb record 33,489 residents, 8,779 families and 11,923 private dwellings, with a median age of 35. ### What does pandas melt do? It reshapes a table from wide to long. Several columns that hold the same kind of value become a pair of columns, one naming the original column and one holding the value, with identifier columns repeated on every row. ### What is the difference between melt and pivot? They are opposites. melt turns columns into rows, making a table longer; pivot turns the values of one column back into separate columns, making it wider. ### What did the Epping station project find? After melting 1,555 rows into 7,775, Epping's morning peak band fell 28.0% from FY18-19 to FY24-25 and the pre-morning band 33.3%, while the interpeak and afternoon peak bands fell 7.1%. ### Is pandas too advanced for school students? Not for teenagers who know basic Python. Tables are familiar from spreadsheets, and seeing a chart appear from a few lines of code keeps students going. ### What do younger Epping children start with? Children from six start with Scratch, building games that keep lists and scores. ### Where are Epping classes held? Online, live. We have no premises in Australia, and the phone number on our site is from India. ### How much do coding classes cost for Epping learners? The first lesson is free. Group classes then cost USD 100 a month for two live lessons a week, roughly eight a month, with fifteen to twenty learners, and one-to-one classes cost USD 150 a month. The course, format and time are agreed before you pay. ### How many learners in each group? Fifteen to twenty, grouped on level, pace and goals, with one-to-one lessons if no group time works. ### Do adults learn pandas with you? Yes. Adults have their own groups or private lessons, often to move reporting work out of manual spreadsheets.
