9. Errors in the previous edition
Unfortunately, some of the figures in the final column of Table 27 of Bus and Coach Statistics 2003-04 were slightly wrong, due to a programming error. The other columns of the table were unaffected. The corrections required are very minor; only about a third of the percentages were wrong, and the vast majority of those were incorrect by only 1 percentage point. One figure was incorrect by 2 percentage points. The corrected figures are shown below in bold (the other figures were correct). We apologise for any inconvenience caused by the mistake.
