2. Includes Gourock-Brodick, Gourock-Tighnabruaich, Ardrossan-Douglas (Isle of Man), Ballycastle-Rathlin, Clyde and Loch Lomond cruising, RNAD and tanker charters, and Tarbert-Portavadie for the years for which separate figures for this route are not available.

3 Service withdrawn on 16 October 1995, when the Skye Bridge opened. This route is therefore not shown in Figure 10.2.

4. Includes Scalpay-Kyles-Scalpay, Oban-Kerrera, Islay-Colonsay, Mallaig-Small Isles, Oban-Colonsay, Tobermory-Kilchoan Oban-Lismore, Otternish-Berneray, day charters and livestock specials, and Otternish-Leverburgh prior to 1996.

* These routes do not appear in Figure 10.2 because of lack of space in the relevant parts of the map.
