In these figures each complete journey solution and route timetable provided are counted as an enquiry. More detail

Where route timetables can be requested these typically account for 25% of enquiries.

Where only visitor session figures are available these have been multiplied by 1.5 to give an estimate of the number of enquiries. Figures from some regions indicate that the true rate of enquiries per visit may be higher which, if confirmed, would give higher totals.
