Ceased updating table LRT0107 (average journey length)

Last year we suggested that we cease producing table LRT0107, having received no feedback we are no longer updating this table, which presented the average length of journey on light rail and tram systems. Should users wish to calculate average journey length themselves, they will still be able to do so by dividing passenger distance by passenger boardings for each system. If you have any comments on this change please contact us.
