1. Source : National Travel Survey. The figures are for pupils aged 5 to 16, as this is the normal basis for such NTS figures. The purpose of this table is just to give a broad indication of the longer-term trends in travel to/from school. The small sample sizes mean that sampling variability could have a noticeable effect on the figures for each period.
2. Data from 1995/97 onwards are based on weighted data and are not directly comparable with earlier data which were based on unweighted data
3. The numbers of pupils for whom trips to/from school were recorded
4. The number of short walks is believed to have been under-recorded in 2002/03
Note - this table excludes trips of 50 miles or over to correspond with NTS published results.
