Questions on the location of places visited, frequency of travel, modes used and journey time. Substitutes for travel for different purposes were also included. Straight-line distances were calculated for each respondent between home and various destinations visited; these distances were added to the data file.

September 1975 - October 197501 September 197501 October 1975 England Surrey IndividualsSubnationalElderlyHousewivesWomen People aged 65 or over, retired or working less than 20 hours per week and excluding the housebound and those seriously handicapped. The housewife sample consisted of women aged between 18 and 64, also working less than 20 hours per week and being fully mobile. Cross-sectional (one-time) study Simple random samplea systematic random sample of electors was selected from the electoral register. Eligible respondents were then selected with the criteria of being retired or working less than 20 hours per week and being fully mobile. One eligible person per household was interviewed. The sample produced was later increased by weighting: at households where two eligible people lived, the record for the interview was duplicated; where three were eligible, two copies were made. As a control for the elderly sample, a random sample of female housewives aged under 65, not working full-time and mobile, was selected from a randomly selected sub-sample of main sample addresses that did not contain any individuals aged 65 or over. To increase the size of the control sample, additional housewife interviews were conducted on a quota basis.
