1 A stage is defined as a part of a journey involving one form of transport. A journey will have one or more stages (e.g. a bus then a train) counts as one bus stage and one train stage.
2 Prior to 2007 only journeys over ΒΌ mile or 5 minutes on foot were recorded. Since 2007 all journeys are recorded. This creates a distcontinuity in the time series between 2006 and 2007.
3 The questionnaire was changed in 2012 and as a result more walking journeys are recorded so there is a break in the time series between 2011 and 2012.
