Rail accidents and safety (RAI05)
Data about the accidents and safety of the rail network, produced by Department for Transport.
The Office of Rail and Road (ORR) is the data source to several rail tables published by the Department for Transport. Moving forwards, annual updates can be found on the ORR Data Portal website. Links to these tables on ORR’s website are below.
RAI0502 - Railway movement accidents: passenger casualties and casualty rates
This table is discontinued because the ORR data no longer breaks the railway accidents data down to passengers only specifically.
