Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many people have been killed on the rail network in each of the last 10 years.

Official statistics relating to the annual numbers of injuries and fatalities on the mainline, London Underground and other light rail networks in Great Britain since 2002-03 are published by the Office of Rail and Road (ORR) on their website at:

Injury statistics published by the ORR for the mainline rail network are based on data collected by the Rail Safety and Standards Board (RSSB). The ORR does not currently publish any further specific information on rail injuries by age or by cause.
