Abstract
Time series data defining the volume of air and rail passenger traffic on the london-glasgow and london-edinburgh routes has been analysed using the box-jenkins approach. The study, which extends an earlier investigation of london-glasgow flows, has explored the influences of fare levels, journey times, and competition effects between modes on both the east coast and west coast routes. The influences of petrol price, and of certain macro-economic variables were also established. (Author/publisher)
