Several NTS tables have been restructured to improve accessibility and better meet user needs. This includes the reorganisation of existing content and the introduction of new tables where additional detail is now provided. Further information on these changes is available in the NTS table index.

In 2025, the digital travel diary was introduced as the primary mode of travel data collection, with most households opting for digital data collection and the remainder using the existing paper diary.

A technical report detailing the survey methodology and data collection operations including the implementation of the digital diary, is available.
