| notes | Using TRANSPORT alone to provide counts of mode of transport to work can be misleading as often someone ticks working from home in Q40 as their main workplace but then says they travel by underground/car etc. To be consistent with 2001 mode of transport to work has been derived taking into account 'working from home' in POWPEW11 over any mode of transport value given in Q41 (TRANSPORT). |
