7 Figures are based on the origin and destination of trips and do not count stages of these trips separately.
8 These figures are for freight lifted by Heavy Goods Vehicles. The GB figures are for freight transported within GB; the Scottish figures include small amounts of freight destined for Northern Ireland and outside the UK.
