$. These figures are for the financial years (April to March) which start in the relevant year (eg the "1995" figures are for the 1995-96 financial year).
# There is a break in series between 1998/99 and 1999/00 because DfT has revised the figures for 1999/00 onwards.
1. Results to 1994 are taken from geographical analysis provided by DVLA. Results for 1995 onwards are estimated using post town area data. The vehicle taxation system was subject to major revisions from July 1995.
2. 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 comparable with those for earlier years, due to changes to the methodology and processing system for the survey.
3. Again, all freight lifted in Scotland.
4. The estimated amounts of crude oil and products carried by pipelines over 50km in length.
5. One-way tolls were introduced for Tay bridge (1 June 1991) and Forth bridge (1 September 1997) so figures after these dates have been estimated by the Scottish Executive. The Skye bridge opened during October 1995, and tolls were removed on 21 December 2004.
6. At 1 April. In 1996, some former trunk roads were "detrunked", and some non-trunk roads became trunk roads.
7. Those services for which figures are (at least) available back to 1975: Caledonian MacBrayne, P&O Scottish Ferries / NorthLink Orkney & Shetland, and Orkney Ferries.
8. Figures are provisional
