Didn't even read the article. The fact that they say, to paraphrase, "Massive increases relative to..." means to me that this time last year must have been particularly poor.
They brush aside low figures when there is an excuse for them (eg wrong weather, leaves on the track etc), but then use those figures a month/quarter/year later to make it look like things are improving again. And besides, they're talking about transactions not prices, which kinda suggests there's something they're trying to cover up.
