More information about this dataset is available here.
The datasets offers Public Transport Accessibility Indicators for Great Britain aggregated by 2011 statistical geographies to a range of key services including: employment, general practices (GP), hospitals, supermarkets, primary schools, secondary schools, and urban centres. The original accessibility indicators were estimated for all 41,729 Lower Super Output Areas (LSOA) in England and Wales and Data Zones (DZ) in Scotland. These datasets contains the Public Transport Accessibility Indicators as quintiles.
