Rail transport: quality assurance of administrative data, Apr 2017

The National Accounts and Economic Statistics (NAES) group within the Office for National Statistics (ONS) downloads data from the Office of Rail and Road (ORR) on the rail transport industry. These data form one source in the calculation of short-term economic output indicators, namely gross domestic product (GDP (O)) and Index of Services (IoS) for the UK.

This report outlines the process data take from initial collection through to the output of the release. It identifies potential risks in data quality and accuracy as well as details of how those risks are mitigated.
