  1. Data tables have been updated to include data up to December 2023. Over 2023 the congestion statistics processing was transferred to a new software enabling greater precision and accuracy in calculations and imputation of the production of statistical values. This has led to minor revisions for the whole Local 'A' CGN05 time series. A historical methodological error when transferring processing to a new software at the sub-national geography level affected the SRN data. This accounts for the minor revisions in the CGN04 tables b-e.
