1 Prior to 2007 only journeys over 1/4 mile or 5 minutes on foot were recorded. Since 2007 all journey lengths are recorded.
2 Purpose category of 'Other' and current status category of 'Gov't work or training scheme' have been excluded due to small sample sizes.
3 From 2007 onwards two new categories, 'Go home' and 'Just go for a walk', have been added. See note A.19 for more detail of these changes.
4 Sample size figures will not sum to the total due to non-response.
