National rail trends survey - October 2007

Thank you very much for taking the time to complete our National Rail Trends questionnaire. There was a high response and the information received was very helpful. The responses have now been analysed.

Code of practice

From 1 December 2008 the pre-release access to official statistic order 2008 policy came into force. For each ORR statistical output there should be a pre-release access list which details who could have access to the data one day prior to publication. Only those who have a role under the purpose and can add expertise to the data can be added to the list. ORR’s pre-release list can be downloaded from this page.
