Details

To monitor transport activity on a timelier basis for topical issues relating to transport, the Department for Transport (DfT) has developed updates on the following:

Indicator Frequency of update Timing of update Date first published
Electric vehicle public charging devices available in the UK Monthly Every second Wednesday 7 December 2021
Practical car driving tests Monthly No longer published 9 November 2022
Large goods vehicle vocational testing in Great Britain Monthly No longer published 10 November 2021

In special circumstances, the timing of updates might change for some indicators. Where applicable, the date of the next update will be added to the “Timing of update” field.

Some of the issues will be short term in nature, and the relevant updates will cease once the issue is no longer either in operation or of relevance.
