The site receives in excess of 1,000 visits per day, rising to 5,000 - 10,000 on days when major incidents occur. Website visitors were queried about their opinion and usage of the site, including their frequency of access, use of site information and facilities; how the information influenced their travel decisions, and what additional facilities they would make use of if made available. The voluntary survey was conducted over a 6 month period from June to December 2008. A total of 304 responses were received.
