31. Mr. Rowe

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what is his latest estimate on the number of route miles travelled by long-distance coaches; and how this differs from the 1979 figures.

Mr. David Mitchell

Information on route miles is not available. However, vehicle miles by long distance express coaches increased from 65 million in 1979 to 88 million in 1984, the latest available estimate.
