Notes:

Train accidents are accidents to trains and rolling stock.

Movement accidents are accidents to people caused by the movement of rail vehicles, other than train accidents. The largest types of incident are falls from trains and from platforms. (The sum of train and movement accidents would be the equivalent of the accidents to passengers in buses and coaches).

Non-movement accidents are accidents to people on railway premises not connected with the movement of rail vehicles (eg slipping on staircases etc.).

For definitions of railway casualties see the Railways (Notice of Accidents) Order 1986; and for definitions of casualties on buses and coaches see Road Accidents Great Britain 1990.
