Updated versions of Scottish Transport Statistics tables will be prepared:
(a) when Main Transport Trends is published, to provide more detailed figures on many of the topics which it covers;
(b) when a further year's figures become available for "key" topics, such as those for which Main Transport Trends shows "not available" for the latest year (like the "bus" and "waterborne freight" statistics in the "2006" edition); and
(c) to correct any errors that are found in published tables.
Please note that:
- the updated tables will be made available in spreadsheets which will appear separately from those which give the figures in the tables that were originally published;
- the electronic version of the publication will not be updated - it will remain as published.
Extra road accident statistics tables: there are twelve, each covering the years from 1981 to the year of the latest Road Accidents Scotland. They provide numbers on topics such as:
- killed and seriously injured casualties by mode of transport;
- child casualties by age and sex;
- accidents by police force area and severity; and
- casualties by Council area and severity.
