1. Excluding Channel Tunnel rail traffic prior to 1996-97
2. Figures may differ slightly from those previously published: this is because a data supplier has refined its method of calculation.
3. From 1996-97, "outwith the UK" includes freight taken to ports for export (such freight was previously counted under either "within Scotland" or "elsewhere in the UK", depending upon the location of the port).
4. "Minerals" (including coal and coke) from 1996-97; "Coal and coke" only for earlier years

1. Excluding Channel Tunnel rail traffic prior to 1996-97
2. Figures may differ slightly from those previously published: this is because a data supplier has refined its method of calculation.
3. From 1996-97, "outwith the UK" includes freight imported via ports in England and Wales, which then comes by rail into Scotland (previously, such freight was counted as lifted "elsewhere in the UK").
It should be noted that, in all years, imported freight lifted at Scottish ports is counted under "lifted in Scotland".
4. "Minerals" (including coal and coke) from 1996-97; "Coal and coke" only for earlier years
