1. Where a journey involves more than one mode of transport (e.g. a bus then a train), the main mode is defined as the one used for the longest (in distance) stage.
2. Prior to 2007 only journeys over 1/4 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.
