TSGB0723 (RDC0310): Maintenance expenditure by road class (ODS, 11.6 KB)

As of the 2022 release, TSGB now covers primarily cross-modal information. As a result, there are fewer tables in this chapter. Below are the tables that are no longer published with TSGB, but can still 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.
