Notes:

(a)	The figure of £25m for 1954/5 is from the British Transport Commission's accounts.
(b)	The figure from the same source for 1958/59 is £90m. However interest charges were relegated to a "special account", depreciation was under estimated and some track changes were transferred to a maintenance expenditure account. The true figure, excluding the loss of the British Rail pension fund was £134m.
(c)	Figures for the years 1955, 1958 and 1957 have been obtained by interpolation. The figure for 1959 has been obtained by extending the series for previous years.
(d)	Values for the years 1960 through to 1980 are from Robert Millar of the Institute of Economic Affairs writing in February 1982. That data is quoted at 1979 prices.
(e)	Data for the years from 1980-1984 are from Transport Statistics Great Britain.
(f)	Data for 1985 to 2000 are from the DfT Transport Statistics Bulletin and include Freight Grants except that the Public Service Obligation Grant for the years 1979 to 1994. The latter are from a letter from Dr Pritchard of the Department of Transport writing to Gabriel Roth on 5th January 1995. Clearly the PSO should be added.
	The 2004 prices are the outturn values multiplied by the RTPI index. That produced slightly different numbers from the GDP deflator.
