Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, where (a) deaths and (b) injuries on the rail network occurred in each of the last 10 years.


This question was answered on 16th October 2018

The independent safety regulator for Britain’s railways, the Office of Rail and Road (ORR), is responsible for monitoring health and safety performance across the rail network. This includes collecting annual data on the number of fatalities and injuries on the rail network, wherever these should occur.

Over the last 10 years, fatalities and injuries have been recorded on a number of parts of the network. These include stations and depots, at level crossings, at the trackside, on heritage railways, on tramways and on metro services such as London Underground.
