TRANSPORT STATISTICS GREAT BRITAIN 1971-1981

This publication presents a comprehensive range of statistical information on inland surface transport in order to encourage informed debate on transport development and policies. As in previous editions, most of the tables cover eleven years, though some span longer or shorter periods and a few contain forecasts for years ahead. To provide a wider context for the inland surface transport series, some summary tables on air and sea transport are included. This edition is divided into seven parts, each of them preceded by a commentary and by notes on the relevant tables. Short articles are included to enhance the commentary. There are nine articles, sited immediately before the notes to the tables to which they refer. In part 1, there are articles on the information available from the National Travel Survey and on commuting in the South East. In part 2, four articles deal with the bus passenger industry, the information on vehicle stock and new vehicle registrations, heavy goods vehicle testing, and road safety. Part 3 has articles on trends in rail freight and safety on the railways. Lastly, there is an article in part 5 on trends in port traffic. I hope it will be possible to have articles on different topics next year. The publication includes several tables.
