1 DfT has revised the figures for the light goods and goods body types back to 2001. DfT does not have the underlying data to revise earlier years' figures.
2 Financial years
3 The DfT have revised figures from 2004/05 onwards as a result of methodological improvements. Figures prior to this period are not directly comparable.
See Chapter 2 for more detail.
4 Freight lifted in Scotland by UK-registered hauliers, regardless of whether the destination is in Scotland, elsewhere in the UK or outwith the UK.
The figures for 2004 onwards are not compatible with those for earlier years due to changes in methodology and processing system for the survey.
5 The estimated amounts of crude oil and products carried by pipelines over 50km in length. 2010 figure has been estimated.
6 Data is provisional. Some 2009 figures have been used to calculate 2010 road lengths where this information is not available for certain local authorities.
7 ScotRail introduced a new methodology which better estimates Strathclyde Zonecard journeys from 2009/10. Figures from 2003/04 onwards
present the impact of this on previously reported data to provide a more meaningful year on year comparison. Note that this has no impact on actual
journeys undertaken. Further detail on this can be found from paragraphs 4.3 onwards.
8 The Office of Rail Regulation ( ORR) produce total passenger figures. These are not adjusted to reflect ScotRail's revised methdology and are therefore
not comparable with ScotRail figures.
9 Those services for which figures are (at least) available back to 1975: Caledonian MacBrayne, P&O Scottish Ferries / NorthLink Orkney & Shetland, and Orkney Ferries.
