Railway statistics: Releases and database table corrected

revision releasetime of correction:

Description of the correction

The coverage of quarterly data on passenger traffic by rail has been deficient between 2023Q4 and 2026Q2. Part of trips in commuter traffic are excluded from the statistics. The release texts and database table have been updated as concerns erroneous data. The effect on the number of trips was around 5 to 8 per cent and on passenger-kilometres about 1 to 2 per cent depending on the quarter. The error had no effect on the annual data.

Corrected database table, identifier and name
