Transport Statistics Great Britain

Statistical trends on the British transport sector.

Transport Statistics Great Britain

Transport Statistics Great Britain (TSGB) is the department’s main statistical compendium publication. It describes the major cross-modal statistical trends in the British transport sector, and is normally published in December each year.

Use the Transport Statistics Finder to explore and discover the latest data and reports published by the Department for Transport (DfT).

You can use the search functions in the finder to explore, download and view all the statistical content the department has published.

Following user feedback in 2022, TSGB consolidates cross-modal statistical trends for different transport modes from published DfT statistical publications. Modal-specific statistical content is still published by the department, and can be found in their respective statistical collections. The online versions of TSGB tables are updated throughout the year as new data becomes available. However, each online edition of TSGB includes a ZIP archive file containing ‘snapshots’ of all tables taken at the point of TSGB’s release.

Previous editions of Transport Statistics Great Britain are available, and we provide information for all chapters.

Transport Statistics Great Britain: data tables

As of the 2022 release, TSGB now covers primarily cross-modal information. As a result, there are fewer tables, and chapters, in the release. Tables that are no longer published with TSGB can be found in the relevant routine DfT statistical collections. The Transport Statistics Finder can also be used to locate these tables, either by table name or code.

Cross-modal transport statistics user feedback

Summary of findings from user feedback, and proposed changes, for timelier cross-modal (more than one mode of transport, such as buses and rail) statistics, and what this would mean for the annual cross-modal statistics product, TSGB.

About the Transport Statistics Great Britain data and reports

TSGB does not have a pre-release access list as it is comprised of data already published and in the public domain.
