2. The GB figures relate to motor vehicle traffic only, and therefore exclude a small amount of pedal cycle traffic.

4. Total passenger figures are produced by the ORR and have not been adjusted to reflect ScotRail's revised zonecard methdology.
5. Figures are based on the origin and destination of trips and do not count stages of these trips separately.
6. These figures are for freight lifted by Heavy Goods Vehicles. The GB figures are for freight transported within GB; the Scottish figures include small amounts of freight destined for Northern Ireland and outside the UK.
7. The estimated amounts of crude oil and products carried by pipelines of length 50+ km. Pipeline figures for 2010 are estimated.
