Guidance on individual chapters and supporting notes and definitions.

Aviation notes and definitions are published in the department’s Aviation statistics collection.

Energy and Environment notes and definitions are published in the department’s Transport energy and environment statistics collection.

As of December 2022, TSGB now covers primarily cross-modal information. As a result, there are fewer tables and chapters in the release. Below are the department’s statistical collections that are no longer published with TSGB, but can still be found on the DfT website, and their accompanying notes and definitions. The Transport Statistics Finder can also be used to locate these tables, either by table name or code.
