What changes in SIC 2026
ONS published UK SIC 2026 in 2026. Its correspondence table maps this code's class (49.31) to:

| 49.12 | Other passenger rail transport | 1:3 |
| 49.31 | Scheduled passenger transport by road | 1:3 |
| 49.34 | Passenger transport by cableways and ski lifts | 1:3 |
"1:1" means the class carries over unchanged in scope; other link types mean it was split or merged. Companies House still uses SIC 2007, so keep filing with 49311 until it announces a switch.
